20. May 2010 - So I’ve just come back from our trip to USA, where we visited a lot of IT companies – big ones like Microsoft , Oracle , IBM , etc. and some startups, like Zemanta , Trumpet , SkyGrid , Noovo , etc. It was awesome visiting all of you guys and most of all, we’ve learned a lot! I cannot summarize the whole trip in one post, but let me just say, Silicon Valley’s spirit is just great, it’s hard to describe it only in words. Let me just show you our “crash-in” to TechCrunch office: Read the whole article...

08. April 2010 - I’m traveling (almost) for two months to USA, so I won’t be able to blog that much. Even though we are going to visit a lot of Silicon Valley companies and Universities, we are also going to drive a lot (you can check our trip on my Dopplr account ) so I’ll be lucky to just catch some wi-fi for checking email, facebook and all that stuff.

On home screen (or start screen) are tiles, which are “active” – they are animating and shows a lot of information as it can be best seen on videos. Microsft also invented something called...

03. March 2010 - Recently I wanted to create a couple of websites, more precisely, AJAX websites with a lot of animation and calls to (external) web services. So basically, I needed an HTML page with included jQuery library and support for IntelliSense. No need for ASP.NET or any other server side stuff, like data access, MVC etc. Since I wanted to reuse this project template, I created my own Visual Studio template – jQuery Project.

24. February 2010 - There are a lot of discussions around web, why using one and why not the other one. My reason was pretty simple: I wanted a lot of cool UI effects, that are already part of jQuery . At first I thought, OK, no problem, I’ll just include both of them on my site. But … there are some cases, where jQuery and ScriptManager just don’t get along and why including two different libraries with the same functionalities? So I did run a very simple test – wrote the same functionality for both cases. Since the...
