Over the holiday weekend I had the opportunity to take a project that I have been working on for the web and see if I could port it directly to a native app on iOS. Now your first thought is probably, “Don’t you have better things...
Our customers have been asking us for some way to have visibility across a number of projects at the same time. We also think this is a great idea!!! For that reason, we’ve dedicated our next release (targeted toward the end of January 2012) to providing cross-project views to our customers. Before we started development, we really wanted to understand “who” would want such views – overwhelmingly, customers have told us that cross project views would be great for team members as well as roles such as the development manager, whose responsibility is to govern many projects at the same ...
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” – Mark Twain Mark Twain wasn’t a Software Development manager in any way; however, his words still resonate very accurately when it comes to how you can get started adopting Agile project management techniques. Here are the top 5 practices you can use TODAY regardless of your situation or environment. 1.Don’t call it “Agile” – The term Agile seems to have become fatigued or simply over/misused.

Hello everyone, Santa came early this week with RadControls for Silverlight 5 and the Q3 2011 Service Pack 1!

I am pleased to announce that it is currently available to download right now by heading to your client account and selecting RadControls for Silverlight. This is built against Silverlight 5 and has passed all our Q/A checks for use in production applications. We have however, noticed some quirks that made it through to the SL5 runtime from Microsoft (including the RadRichTextBox wizard for SL...
We are most excited to announce the immediate availability of our Q3 2011 Service Pack 1 release of RadControls for Windows Phone. Together with all the bug fixes and improvements, we also managed to add several cool new features in our controls. LiveTileHelper, Date/Time pickers Step property, Radar charts and financial indicators as well as the much requested pinch-to-zoom functionality for RadSlideView showing pictures. The pinch-to-zoom gesture is well known and most of the users are
familiar with it. More, people will expect it from any application that
displays pictures in a gallery. Well, no need to implement your own
gesture handling; it is all...
It is a common scenario when we would like to limit the selectable values in a time or date picker control. Normally we would do this by setting an allowed date-time range but a more sophisticated case is when we also want to filter out some selection possibilities and allow only specific ones. Imagine an application that provides the end-user with the possibility to create reminders that can only happen in time intervals of 15 minutes: 3:00 AM, 3:15 AM, 3:30 AM... Here we don’t want to prevent the user from selecting values from the whole time-range, but want to make some...
