Happy Thursday to all you XAML-lovers out there! I'm back from the trenches with a new initiative aimed at teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF control suites. Starting today, every Thursday you'll be able to find a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control in a little series we're calling XAMLflix. The best part is that since we share a common codebase and API between our Silverlight and WPF suites you only have to learn how to use these controls once and can carry those skills ...

In preparing for the upcoming major release of Telerik JustCode we published our first internal build for this year. Besides focusing on performance and memory footprint improvements we’ve listened to the users’ voice and implemented some of the features you’ve asked us for.

The chart component for the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC is a rapidly expanding MVC component. Not only are we adding many new features, but we’re also increasing the available chart types. With the introduction of Q3 2011 we were able to start using two new chart types - Scatter and Scatter Line. Both types allow you to plot points anywhere on your chart area, as long as you provide each point with X and Y values. Let’s take a look at how you can implement these chart types, as well as take use of some new features introduced in ...

Hello everyone,

Today, we begin a new and exciting video series on Telerik’s RadCharts for Windows Phone 7. What is RadCharts you may ask? RadChart is intuitive and easy-to-use charts designed for the mobile environment. RadChart offers 20 chart series out-of-the-box and is designed for super-fast loading and real-time updates.  The control’s intuitive object model and public API allow complex charts to be easily setup either in XAML or through code-behind.

Now that we know what RadChart is, let’s take a look at the roadmap for the series.

The Roadmap for the series:

I’ve included the Roadmap for the ...

A common question we get asked is how to add new statuses to work items in TeamPulse.  While the process is not difficult, it is also not immediately obvious and a bit of complexity is added if your project is syncing with TFS.  To help people accomplish this task, we have added a how-to article in the TeamPulse documentation entitled “How to: Add a Custom State”.  This article will walk you through the process of adding a status to a work item in TeamPulse and adding a new state to a work item type definition in TFS.  If ...

What makes software valuable? Or, to be specific, when does software become valuable? To put it simply, software becomes valuable when the proper solution gets into the hands of the user. Software sitting on a developer’s computer, no matter how wonderfully it was designed or coded, doesn’t provide any value.

Your development teams are hard at work developing the best software possible. They are employing many of the agile practices that have been developed over the past decade or so, including implementing a rapid feedback loop through increased collaboration, developing in small iterations, ensuring transparency, and responding to change.

For the TeamPulse team, 2012 means “new frontiers”

2011 was a stellar year where we focused on delivering around our core product to help teams represent and manage requirements and plan and manage work. The later part of the year we really switched gears and started adding value on top of this core set of functionality by adding the Feedback Portal.

Here is a summary of what we are planning on doing for 2012 based completely on customer demand:
