Falafel software is very pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new Telerik RadControls Silverlight book and all its source code from the Telerik web site for FREE to customers and potential customers.

The book has been a huge effort in the making of creating a comprehensive step by step courseware in order to bring productivity and real life use of the Telerik RadControls for Silverlight suite.

Falafel is very proud of this 1100 page book and we hope that the Telerik community will find it valuable and will help shorten the learning curve of Silverlight, Expression Blend,  RadControls for Silverlight, WCF, RIA Services and so many other topics that come together in this comprehensive book.

A huge thank you! goes to Noel Rice, Falafel VP of Services, for his great accomplishment and the quality of his work.  This book is Noel 9th book authored for Telerik in the last 3.5 years.

Thanks as well to the Telerik team for their confidence in us over the last 4 years and their continuous help and collaboration in order to offer their customers the best products combined with the best service possible.

Let us know what you think about the book and what would you like to see authored next :)

This is a very important placement. The Global 100 is Red Herring’s roll of the top 100 privately held global tech companies; sort of "the Fortune 500 list but for tech", according to Stephen Forte's blog. Our industry looks to this list to see who the next mover and shakers are.

Previous winners inclue Skype, YouTube, Salesforce and of course Google.

Finalists are selected from the regional recipients or finalists of the Red Herring 100 awards in 2007, 2008, or 2009 from Asia, Europe, and North America. The award is based on their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health.

Congratulations Telerik!

FALAFEL is proud to serve as Telerik's consulting and training arm.

If you aren’t aware of the unique qualities of Falafel Software, here’s one for the archives. Falafelites are located across 4 time zones in California, Colorado, Texas, and Michigan, and through each other we get to experience lives beyond our own. And they aren't always what you might expect (includes cute baby animal pictures!)

Two recent events lead me to believe that this may indeed be the case...

I've always been a fan of Commands way back when they were called Actions in the old Delphi days. With .NET, WPF, and Silverlight we have so many new tools available to us. One I’ve been having fun with is behaviors.

Getting files from an outside source can cause Windows to Block project files. .NET 4 has changed the security settings so some examples downloaded from the internet, for example, might not work without unblocking these files.

If you, like me, did not install C++, it is not there… see this article. Installing C++ fixed the problem. The C++ team must be getting desperate!
