Progress, the trusted provider of AI-powered infrastructure software, is unveiling the Q4 2024 release of Progress Telerik and Progress Kendo UI component libraries. With this latest iteration focusing on improved integration, ease-of-use, and various other enhancements, Progress aims to provide the most comprehensive toolset for developing modern user experiences, according to the company.
The first of Progress’ updates includes enhancements to design operations, offering over 70 new Page Templates and Building Blocks that help accelerate app design and development. These new additions are preconfigured with Progress Telerik UI for Blazor, Progress Kendo UI for Angular, and Progress KendoReact components, enabling developers to easily leverage these assets within existing design systems, according to Progress.
Further streamlining the design-to-code workflow, Progress ThemeBuilder now supports a wider range of styling options, including the ability to style any HTML elements and convert any Figma components into HTML. The Q4 2024 release also features day-zero compatibility with .NET 9 and Angular 19, enabling support for the latest development frameworks for building modern UIs.
“We are excited to continue to push the envelope of the design to code capabilities available on the market today," said Loren Jarrett, EVP and general manager, digital experience, Progress. “With this release of Telerik and Kendo UI, we're taking design-to-developer automation to the next level, addressing critical challenges in the design-to-code process and providing day-zero support for the latest .NET and JavaScript frameworks. Our products continue to evolve ahead of technology trends, enabling developers to stay at the forefront of what is needed to deliver great digital experiences that drive business outcomes.”
In the area of data visualization and reporting, Progress is debuting a DataGrid-Chart integration and new, accessible reporting capabilities.
The DataGrid-Chart integration is available within the Kendo UI, allowing users to rapidly produce a variety of charts directly from Grid selections. Charts can also be generated from other data-bound components, ultimately improving data visualization for better, faster decision-making.
Progress’ modern and accessible reporting capabilities features right-to-left (RTL) text support in Skia-based rendering and simplified web service integration, as well as initial report preview and event handlers in Progress Telerik Reporting components.
