Telerik, market-leading provider of end-to-end solutions for software application, lifecycle, and content management solutions, has just announced its Windows 8 UI Controls Release Candidate that will help the entire developer community to build apps for the Windows store in a better way. Along with the Release Candidate, the company has also released two new controls Pagination and HubTile, for HTML and XAML environments. Some of the previously available controls by Telerik include Chart, DatePicker, AutoCompleteBox, NumericBox, Gauge, TimePicker, Slider, DropDownList, BulletGraph and ComboBox. While Pagination Control enables fast and intuitive navigation between pages, irrespective of style or content, Hubtile Control lets users experience the dynamics of navigation or browsing through Windows 8 style tile.

The Windows 8 UI Controls Release Candidate by Telerik allows developers build apps in a better and secure way. These apps will be useful for both enterprise and consumer market. Besides, to make developers productive, the suite offers the industry’s best support and rich capabilities on top of WinRT, engineered specifically for enterprise development.

“Windows 8 opens up new opportunities for the developer community – whether an early adopter building consumer apps or an enterprise looking to improve the customer experience,” said Chris Sells, executive vice president, Developer Tools. “This is why it was important to us to be the first to market with the richest toolset available for both XAML and HTML. Moreover, we are the only vendor that, based on our years of experience, can offer an overabundance of support and know-how in XAML, HTML and Windows Phone technologies, enabling our customers to get to market faster.”

Just a few days back, Telerik acquired the Fiddler Web Debugger–a popular tool created to inspect web traffic and ‘fiddle’ with incoming or outgoing data. The Fiddler Web Debugger tool debugs traffic from any application that supports a proxy, including all modern web browsers, is browser-agnostic, and lets developers see HTTP messages from any program. The company also moved in a lockstep with Microsoft, updating its developer tools portfolio to offer full support of the IDE for .NET developers, giving them the ability to build apps on Microsoft’s most modern platforms and devices. Another update from the company included major update to its product Kendo UI, with several new features, like support for tablet U and server-side wrappers for ASP.NET MVC. This enhancement has been created to enable developers to quickly build rich, native-like, and simplify development of HTML5 and JavaScript mobile apps and sites.
