Is This Thing On? (Part 2)
In our last post we looked very briefly at the APIs currently available to help detect connectivity state in mobile/web apps. Our conclusion? Browser APIs have a long way to go in this area! Nevertheless, when used together – and in tandem with a heartbeat check that attempts to talk to a remote endpoint – these tools can be quite useful. But what's the best way to use them 'together'? At the end of part 1, I said that I think a state machine abstraction would work well to manage all of this…but you might be wondering, "What's a state machine?". Before I show you the what and how of finite state machines, I think it's important for us to understand the why of state machines. So, grab some popcorn and prepare to laugh (and hopefully commiserate) as I walk you through what it could look like to solve the connectivity problem without a proper state machine.May 10, 2013 11 min read -

A Day At The SPA With kendo.Router

I don't want to re-start the procedure that I've already started. I would rather return to the same therapist and pick up where I left off. -

It enables you to personalize your app experience and give user the power on how they want to access data within their app. Consider a sample app that has a list of useful modules like Todo, Twitter, etc. When added to my dashboard I want to create a shortcut for that module in my Windows 8 start screen. -

How to Implement Drill-down Functionality in Telerik’s PivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX Part 2
This is the second post of mine, which elaborates on how to implement drill down functionality in Telerik’s ASP.NET PivotGrid control. In the previous post I demonstrated how to display our Popup Dialog control containing a Telerik Grid with detailed information about the PivotGrid’s data cells. Today I will show you how to optimize the performance of the example provided in my previous post. The drill down demo from the first part is great, but it is not perfect. It has some weak parts and we can improve them. Here’s how.
