BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced the latest release of Telerik® DevCraft™ suite, the most complete .NET toolbox for web, mobile and desktop development. The new release introduces support for AngularJS 2 Alpha, the top-of-the-line JavaScript framework developed by Google, as well as significant enhancements to help developers produce highly-responsive web apps for a multitude of platforms. Telerik, a Progress company, is the first to market in delivering UI for AngularJS 2.

AngularJS 2 Support

Telerik has worked closely with Google to be one of the first organizations to support the latest advancements in AngularJS. With today's release, Telerik® Kendo UI®, part of the Telerik DevCraft suite, now supports both AngularJS 1.x and AngularJS 2 Preview, and is working towards support for AngularJS 2 Beta (coming in Q2). Early-adopters of AngularJS 2 can utilize the Telerik Kendo UI product to easily produce beautiful responsive web apps on top of the AngularJS 2 Preview.

"We have continued to iterate and extend our most successful products to meet market demand for supporting new web platforms, and we're proud to be among the first to support AngularJS 2," said Marina Hristova, Vice President, Product Marketing & Management, Telerik DevTools, Progress. "Our DevCraft offering extends beyond AngularJS 2 to include the full breadth of HTML5/JS and all .NET platforms. All our tools speed application development via intuitive APIs making Telerik DevCraft a complete developer solution."
