The rotator on the telerik homepage is no longer displaying correctly in FireFox 1.5 (though it looks okay in FireFox 1.0.5). The problem appeared after the site update for the Q1 release. The "What's NEW" text and button bar cover up the promotional images, floating up to the level of the "About us" title in the left margin.
If you cannot reproduce, I'll be happy to send a screen shot.
On a day like today with a major quarterly release, I often wonder what kind of manpower it takes to pull it off; and what kind of manpower (or womanpower) telerik has available to do it. I've been surprised to see that the forums are still somewhat alive with telerik support contributions today - since I'd figured everyone would be doing their part to get the release out on time. So my first question is...how many people currently work at telerik?
My next question is with respect to the process by which releases are published. I'm sure I can't even fathom all the steps that are required in order to do a release, but I'd sure be curious to hear what they all are, and in what order they happen. I only mention it because I'm sure that the .dll's and other folders are sitting ready to go the morning of the release but other preparations are made so that all hell doesn't break loose once the code is out there.
That being said, I'm quite sure that many developers would simply like to get their hands on the new stuff and wouldn't be worried about a 12-24 hour delay in the supporting materials (documentation, QSF, etc.). I'm sure it sounds petty to whine about waiting until the end of the day (it's 6pm EST now and no release yet) for the release; however, when telerik announced the March 21 release date a few months ago I'm sure I wasn't the only one that circled that date as one to do a whole lot of updates (and perhaps start on some new projects). It's just a little unfortunate in my own case, and maybe a few others (or maybe quite a few others), that a whole day has been "wasted" (for lack of a better word) waiting for the published release.
My second question was in the above paragraphs somwhere ;)
The good thing about Telerik is that they offer a very comprehensive set of Web Forms controls. The bad thing about Telerik is that they offer no Windows Forms controls.
I'm well aware that developing a windows control is an entirely different discipline from developing a web control, but what I would like very much is a library of web controls and windows controls that share the same object model: that would allow me to make an application logic layer, with very thin web presentation and windows presentation layers.
Failing Telerik's windows forms controls, are there any windows forms libraries out there that offer a reasonably similar object model?
i just wanted to say that i'm really happy with the Telerik r.a.d. Control Suite we purchased last year. I actually look for ways to use the r.a.d. controls in every project. And i would also like to say what a joy and easy it is to use your products. Thanks and keep up the damn fine work!.
