On my last visit to the SPA, I introduced the new kendo.View and showed some of the use cases and API calls for it. This second visit will include a weekend package with a room, and a relaxation session with DOM replacement therapy. I'll introduce the kendo.Layout and show how it enhances the massage techniques of the kendo.View.

RequireJS Fundamentals
If you have been following JavaScript development, you might have seen a lot of posts on modules. It's a hot topic in JavaScript and it's easy to jump on a bandwagon. The truth is that the problem that needs to be solved is very fundamental to the success of your code.

A Day At The SPA With kendo.Router
This luxurious SPA life can be difficult. It can lead to some #FirstWorldProblems. What if I want to get started with my treatments and therapy, but I have to stop in the middle and come back later? I don't want to re-start the procedure that I've already started. I would rather return to the same therapist and pick up where I left off.

Kendo UI At Google IO
This week, some of us at Telerik are attending Google I/O in San Francisco. We're not just attending though, we've been invited into the Sandbox for the second year in a row to show off some of the really amazing things that the engineering team has been doing both with HTML5, and Mobile. This includes not just Kendo UI, which has become a world class framework for HTML5 web and mobile development, but also the brand new Icenium platform for seamlessly building cross-platform mobile applications built on Cordova.

Kendo UI SPA: Screencast And Getting Started
With the Q1 2013 release of Kendo UI, there were several new
components added to better facilitate Single Page Application (SPA)
development. Since the release, I've been building sample applications,
writing blog posts and creating screencasts to cover these new
framework pieces. Find the best places to learn and get your SPA on, with these links.

Bower FTW
If you haven't yet heard about Bower, it is essentially a node module built by Twitter and is billed as a "package manager for the web". It's dead simple, and that's the reason you are going to love it.

Making A ListView Timeline
The timeline has become a ubiquitous part of our user experience. It started with Facebook and Twitter, and now Pinterest and the Google+ interface have given us a new take on the same concept: display a list of items to the user. As they scroll down the page, add in the next batch of items. Sometimes those new items are added automatically (ala "endless scrolling"), and often there is a "push to load more" button, like in Instagram's new website.

To Navigate, Or Not To Navigate?
Routers are powerful tools in Single Page Applications, and Kendo UI's
router provides an API to wrap up this power.
But the API hides a lot of potential complexity and performance
issues if you're not careful. Calling the navigate method
without regard for the current context of the application and whether
or not that context is changing can result in unwanted re-rendering
of the entire application. This can reduce the responsiveness of the
app, waste time re-drawing content that isn't changing, and cause a
lot of flickering on the screen - and none of this is desirable
from a user's perspective.

Asset Management, the Status Quo and Areas Of Opportunity
Why do we organize assets the way we do? It must be rooted in
tradition. Back when the internets were first getting started, and the
world wide web was at version “1.0”, we just didn’t have that
many .css or .js files to organize. So we put all our .css
files in a public directory called “assets/css” and all our
.js files in a public directory called “assets/js”, and we
were done ... but there must be a better way.

jQuery Context Overload
I'm sure most of you can relate to that feeling you get when you learn about something that you're pretty sure everyone else already knows about. Something fundamental. I remember when I learned that I could test for nullable integers in C# by using hasValue. Or when I first learned that you could use array notation in JavaScript to dynamically access properties and methods. Sometimes we don't talk about these things. We sort of just look around to make sure no one was watching when we were the last to find out.

Four UI Test Automation Tips for HTML5 Applications
Every application needs a solid mix of automated testing: unit, integration, and functional/User Interface. UI automation has always been at the top of the test pyramid, but not because they’re the best type of automated tests. Rather, UI tests should be a few carefully chosen tests built on top of a wide base of unit tests and a solid middle layer of integration tests.
