Sydney, Australia – Software development company Progress has recently announced that it has launched its latest release of Progress Telerik and Progress Kendo UI, its own .NET and JavaScript UI libraries and tools for application development.
This innovation offers artificial intelligence prompts for application interfaces, design-to-code productivity, accessibility features, and new UI components, including the Blazor Spreadsheet component.
In this launch, a new AI prompt will enhance content creation, messaging, and document generation while also enabling quick information access through in-UI searches.
Reducing the learning curve, in this case, enables the integration of artificial intelligence demos in Telerik and Kendo UI libraries for components such as TextBox and Spreadsheet to further help developers explore new ways to incorporate AI-powered interactions into their digital experiences.
Moreover, it also comes with an improved designer-to-developer handoff with enhanced Figma UI kits, improved colour system themes, and enriched design system documentation.
Developers can also ensure brand consistency and meet app standardisation requirements by using unified rendering across the different JavaScript and .NET web frameworks. They can also leverage more than 600 component-specific theme variables as well as a smart CSS code editor in the Progress® ThemeBuilder℠ cloud application.
Additionally, the Telerik and Kendo UI libraries are designed to help developers meet the specific needs of users by complying with Section 508, WCAG 2.2, and WAI Aria standards. All web chart components also offer built-in accessibility and keyboard navigation, making data visualizations accessible to all users.
Along with the initiative, the company has also released new capabilities for embedded data-driven experiences with reporting and visualisation features, modernization of legacy projects with support for complex migration scenarios, and support for .NET 9 Preview.
Loren Jarrett, EVP and GM, digital experience at Progress, said, “Businesses are rapidly adapting their products to take advantage of AI, and developers have to respond quickly to this new opportunity.”
“With this latest release, we make it easy for developers to include Gen AI prompts in their apps and embed AI for a better UX, in addition to advanced design, code automation, and accessibility features. The world is moving quickly, and we are empowering developers to stay ahead of the game,” added Loren.
