WebDD: slides and demo code
As promised earlier, here are the slides and the sample code from my WebDD talk.The code builds an image slide show control and an extender that will zoom its target in on mouse hover and zoom out on mouse unhover doing that with a fancy animation stolen from the AJAX Control Toolkit. Some info that you may find useful when reading the code in no particular order:The ScriptControls project is the real control library. It contains the JavaScript and server-side controls and is being used by some of the pages in the demo site (ImageSlideShowServer, ImageSlideShowUpdatePanel, HoverZoomExtender).The DemoSite project is well... a... -

WebDD – pure web dev enjoyment
Last Saturday was quite an eventful day! Me and Zhivko attended the WebDD conference in Reading, England, and I have been meaning to post a small review about the entire thing. The sessions I attended were really great. This was my first time seeing Scott Guthrie present and I can only say that he’s a real presentation machine. He gave 4 talks in a single day and then repeated one of them, so that people that did not have the chance to attend it could do so. I watched Dave Verwer give an incredible talk on writing unobtrusive JavaScript or script that works when it can and leaves your site usable for browsers with...February 06, 2007 2 min read -

WebDD
Just came back from this year's webDD event at the Microsoft campus in Reading, UK and wanted to give a big thank you to Dave and Phil and all the organizers for the great experience - it was an insightful weekend with Scott Guthries' news on AJAX and WPFe, and a great chance to check back on industry developments with fellow designers and developers. With web standards and the Rails technology heavily emphasized in the sessions, it was truly refreshing to see in action Microsoft's recent dedication to industry standards and their openness to alternative frameworks. Dave Verwer's lecture on Unobtrusive... -

Telerik moves to 3 releases per year
Probably, most of you have already seen the update on our roadmap (http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet/roadmap.aspx) and have noticed that telerik will be changing the release schedule as of 2007 – we will have 3 releases of our UI suites for Windows Forms and ASP.NET per year instead of four. I thought it would be a good idea to share some further insights into why we took this decision and to make a point that sometimes "less is more". Perhaps the major reason for the change is the administrative overhead around releases. As you all know times around every launch are very hectic: all regression tests are running on... -
Design UX
User Experience at telerik
For the last half a year, we’ve been quietly revolutionizing software development here at telerik, trying to integrate a thought about the user on all stages of product development. While we really wanted to improve the User Experience, we were very careful not to go too far with needlessly expensive usability best-practices – we believe the smartest solutions are usually the simplest solutions, so we looked around for a way to measure usability that would not involve furnishing a state-of-the-art recording studio and flying users over continents. For a start, we thought we just needed to observe users interact with... -

Web ASP.NET AJAX
radControls and ASP.NET AJAX RTM
As some of you probably know telerik was very quick to ensure that radControls for ASP.NET are fully compatible with the official v1.0 release of ASP.NET AJAX. (The full announcement) We have had the opportunity to follow the development of this new framework quite closely and to hear a wide range of comments on the new extension for the ASP.NET platform. Historically, we have been among the pioneer control vendors to make sure that customers can take full advantage of all radControls capabilities when used in ASP.NET AJAX applications. This new client-side framework release is very important ...January 24, 2007 1 min read -

Telerik WinForms controls are finalists at the Jolt Awards
The finalists for the 2007 Jolt Product Excellence Awards have been announced and our radControls for WinForms are amongst the finalists under the "Libraries, Frameworks and Components" category. Frankly, this is equally pleasing as well as surprising and let me tell you why. There is no doubt that we find this achievement to be a great recognition for our work. For one, the radControls for WinForms suite has been available to the public for slightly over three months and despite being in infant stage, our WinForms suite has proven to be ripe enough for development and production use. Certainly the appreciation shown... -
