Introducing Kendo, the Unified HTML5 and JavaScript Framework

Telerik, a developer tools and solutions provider, this week announced the release of Kendo UI, its new front-end development framework, which enables developers to use HTML5 and JavaScript to create apps and websites.

This approach is acceptable for hobby projects, but it is fraught with support and licensing risks, it is difficult to maintain and upgrade, it is difficult to learn and it wastes valuable development time. Kendo UI solves this problem by providing a unified framework with all of the necessary components for building HTML 5 and JavaScript apps and sites.”
