Useful value converters

Value converters – small pieces of code that are very useful in case of binding some values in XAML. Without them some types of bindings in XALM would not be so easy. We use them in Windows Phone, Silverlight or WPF projects. In most cases for each new project I copy the most important converters to solution.

I think that everybody knows the Telerik company – the provider of controls packs for different platforms. Beside of controls, the company also have some additional tools that can help developers in their daily work. But let finish talking about company.

The first impression…

Nothing sets customers or users attitude on our product as the first impression. It can be achieved in various ways, but it is done mostly by advertising.

In both cases I think Apple should be identified as the leader. This can be seen when we enter to the iStore. From the beginning we can [...]

Budget – What? So small?

Last time I cleaned up my PC I have found a photo from WUD Kraków conference. It shows attitude to budget presented by interactive agency and ordering company. Quite often in Poland we can see the practise that customers are not reviling information about project budget. Customers are afraid of the situation that interactive agency will provide calculation which will use the entire budget. On the opposite side is interactive agency. The company which is full of creative people who want to provide the best and the most innovative solution for customers. The solution which is remarkable and definitely will [...]
