HTML5 – It Just Got Real – Slides
Colin Eberhardt, May 16th, 2013
TweetA couple of days ago we hosted a one-day conference, HTML5 – It Just Got Real, at the Royal Society buildings in London. I’m happy to say that the event was a great success, and that the Q&A session that followed our talks was very lively! As promised, we have made all of our presentations [...]Enhanced Windows Phone 8 Map Gestures
Colin Eberhardt, April 15th, 2013
TweetThis blog post describes the addition of a two-finger rotation and three-finger pitch gesture to the Windows Phone 8 Map control. You can see these gesture in action below: The WP8 release replaced the image-tile based Bing maps with a fully vector-rendered map from Nokia. Being vector-based, this map can be panned, zoomed, rotated and [...]Comparing KendoUI and Knockout (with a bit of jQueryMobile on the side)
Colin Eberhardt, April 8th, 2013
TweetThis blog post compares the same twitter search application written with both Knockout and Kendo in order to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each framework. Introduction I’ve always been a big fan of Knockout, most likely because it reminds me of Silverlight (rest in peace). For my thoughts on how Silverlight and Knockout compare, [...]HTML5 – It Just Got Real – A One-day Conference in London 14th May
Colin Eberhardt, March 28th, 2013
Announcing a one-day conference at the Royal Society, London UK, on the 14th of May. Just a few years back I wrote a white paper titled "Flex, Silverlight or HTML5? Time to decide..." with the help of a couple of my colleagues, comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the three competing technologies. This paper [...]Knockout.js + Node.js = What.js?
Chris Price, March 8th, 2013

Luke Page, March 8th, 2013
For a long time now, extends in less have been bubbling away. When I joined the less team in September last year it was one of the highest asked for feature requests. [...]Less vs Sass vs Stylus
Luke Page, March 8th, 2013
First off, this is a biased blog post as I am heavily involved in less.js at the moment. I have been inspired to write this because of the popular sass vs less post and because although it is very accurate (at the time it was written) it doesn’t really cover the design philosophy. So I [...]Illusions in CSS
Graham Odds, March 7th, 2013
Tweet The many new CSS features introduced in the CSS3 spec that are increasingly supported by all the modern browsers have interested me for quite a while. In an attempt to put see how powerful CSS without any JavaScript can be these days I decided to try implementing some of my favourite visual illusions in [...]Windows Phone 8 Running App Article wins CodeProject competition
Colin Eberhardt, February 25th, 2013
TweetI’ve just received an email from those nice folks at CodeProject letting me know that my article A Windows Phone 8 Run Tracking App in 100 Lines of Code has just won the Best Mobile article of January 2013 award. I must admit, this one was a bit of a surprise. I put this article [...]Linq to Objective-C
Colin Eberhardt, February 15th, 2013
TweetIn the past few months I have been immersing myself into the world of iOS development. Whilst the Objective-C language takes a little getting used to, with its odd syntax and memory management rules, it is certainly a fun platform to develop for. I do miss a few C# language features, such as events, but [...]
