    RadAsyncUpload arrives with Q1 2010 Beta

    Nowadays responsive, user-friendly websites are the norm and no longer the exception. Thanks to using AJAX for partial page updates and real-time updates users don’t need to wait for the browser to finish its communication with the server after every action – they are free to open new messages, accept friend requests or browse image galleries while the browser works in the background. One operation though often needs to block the user interaction while it completes – file uploading. As always Telerik is here to help in this tough situation – meet the RadAsyncUpload. In its essence RadAsyncUpload lets the user...

    Why do teams succeed?

    The story of human achievement is almost always one of teamwork. While we celebrate individual accomplishments, like Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon, it is always the team that makes or breaks the effort. I have always been interested in why teams succeed; it is easy to figure out why teams fail. A lot of time we think that we need a team of “Ninjas” in order to succeed, or a superstar team leader. In reality we need neither the Ninja team nor rock star team leader. For better or worse, I have been leading teams for a long time and I maybe a decent...
