New Marketplace, New Templates & A Screen Builder
Telrik has certainly paid attention to the needs and wants of the average marketer working within their enterprising target market. Here are some of the major updates introduced to the Telerik Platform:
- The new Verified Plugins Marketplace, a first-of-its-kind gallery of Cordova/PhoneGap plugins, creating feature-rich applications using open source Cordova APIs
- Screen Builder (currently in beta) accelerates PhoneGap app scaffolding and enables both developers and business users to create 80 percent of the mobile app from pre-built and pre-wired screens – without ever touching code
- New mobile app dev quick-start templates, making mobile development easier and more guided than ever
- NativeScript, (still in private beta), the Telerik open source project, now includes robust support for CSS styling of native app UI, an improved cross-platform JavaScript framework, support for third party native libraries and the ability to build native apps using Command Line Interface.
