Industry Insights, New Product Releases, Best Practices and Roadmap
Previews Outlined at First Worldwide Developer User Conference
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(TelerikNEXT)--During the opening keynote of TelerikNEXT,
its first global user conference, Telerik,
a Progress
company, announced several updates, including new mobile products,
enhancements to its existing solutions, ongoing support for Microsoft
development tooling, and new contributions to open source with NativeScript™
and Telerik JustDecompile™.
Day one of TelerikNEXT was an atmosphere full of energy and enthusiasm
from its nearly 600 attendees, as influential Progress and Telerik
experts took the stage to highlight key happenings within the company
and industry. Acquired by Progress in December 2014, Telerik continues
to support and elevate the application development community across
every facet of its business, with the release of NativeScript™
and Telerik® Screen Builder offerings, updates to its entire product
portfolio and strategic initiatives with Microsoft and Google.
"We couldn't be more thrilled with the incredible momentum on display
from attendees and employees alike at TelerikNEXT. When Progress
acquired Telerik, we knew we were getting a transformative player in the
application development space. Everything we knew prior to the
acquisition has not only held true, but has exceeded all expectations,"
said Karen Tegan Padir, President, Application Development and
Deployment, Progress. "We've delivered on multiple product releases and
will continue to make investments in our market-leading Telerik
technologies."
Expanded Commitment to Open Source
Over the last year, Telerik made its commitment to open source known
with the release of Telerik® Kendo UI® Core
framework. The company has since expanded upon that initiative and
announced this week the general availability of the much anticipated
NativeScript, the JavaScript framework for developing truly native apps
with JavaScript and CSS. This release fully rounds out the company's
cross-platform solutions for any development approach—responsive web,
hybrid or native. In addition, the Telerik NativeScript framework team
is collaborating with Google on early stage integrations around
AngularJS 2.0.
"The goal of the AngularJS team has always been to simplify developers'
lives," said Brad Green, Director of Engineering, Google. "Telerik
shares our philosophy and is known for its UI/UX capabilities. When we
learned about NativeScript, it only made sense for us to work together
to deliver even more value to our community, at large."
Telerik also announced that it will open source the JustDecompile™
engine, its .NET assembly browsing and decompiling tool. The Telerik®
JustDecompile™ engine enables developers to take an existing compiled
assembly (.dll or .exe) and browse the symbols it contains to easily
decompile the assembly language back to readable C#, VB and IL. The free
tool's core decompiling engine, popular within the 1.5 million strong
Telerik developer community, has been open sourced as a means to ensure
its continued, collaborative innovation and advancement.
Accelerating the Developer and Customer Evolution
Telerik introduced its latest mobility offerings with the release of
Telerik® Screen Builder, enabling low code development for the
non-developer and expanded backend services capabilities for the
enterprise architect. Telerik Screen Builder enables developers to
create screens visually, connect to data and edit in real-time within
Telerik® AppBuilder. With latest product releases, Telerik is again
rounding out its mobile offering to better enable anyone interested in
building mobile apps—from low code-to-no-code through the most technical
deployments.
Telerik also recently released the Sitefinity
Digital Experience Cloud (DEC), a modern digital marketing platform
that tracks, analyzes and optimizes the customer journey. DEC tracks all
customer interactions across device or digital channels and uses
predictive analytics to guide marketers with personalized
recommendations, including the customers' best next step. The end result
is an optimal customer experience and superior engagement model that
drives business profitability and growth.
Microsoft Ready, Always
As a long-standing partner and Microsoft development tooling supporter,
Telerik continues to advance its solutions to support all new Microsoft
releases, often before they're made available to the general
public-ASP.NET 5, MVC 6, Visual Studio 2015, C# 6, Roslyn, the Edge
browser, Office 365 and more are supported by the complete Telerik®
DevCraft toolset.
In addition, Telerik Kendo UI, the leading-edge HTML and JavaScript
platform, now comes equipped with an Office 365 theme. As such, based on
its long-standing relationship, Microsoft is now providing free
licensing of Telerik Kendo UI tools to those who join the Office 365
developer program.
Telerik also introduced its new .NET report server for developers using
the company's popular reporting product to create reports for web,
mobile and desktop applications. Telerik® Report Server provides a
responsive web portal where developers can upload reports, manage access
permissions and schedule automatic report distribution over email and
print. Telerik Report Server is currently in beta and will be officially
released this summer.
"Office and SharePoint Add-ins can now be built using standard web
technologies like HTML and JavaScript that work in Office on the
desktop, Office Online and Office for iPad. We want to ensure we're
giving developers great tools," said Chris Johnson, Group Product
Manager for Office 365, Microsoft. "The fantastic Telerik Kendo UI
framework enables developers to build fantastic looking web based Office
add-ins. That is why we've opted to give members of our Office
365 Developer Program access to Kendo UI to better enable their
development efforts, across the board."
Throughout TelerikNEXT, Telerik also discussed updates across its entire
product portfolio including enhancements to Telerik® Test Studio® suite,
Telerik® Mobile Testing, Telerik® Sitefinity™ CMS, Telerik®
Sitefinity™ Digital Experience Cloud and more. For those unable to
attend TelerikNEXT, the company will host an online version of the
general keynote session on Wednesday, May 13 at 11:00 a.m. ET. To
