You have probably already heard about Kendo UI and the extensive
range of widgets it comes with; but there’s more to Kendo UI than just
widgets. Kendo UI has a full featured framework, and when you put it all
together, you can run your application using Kendo UI MVVM, Kendo UI
widgets, and the Telerik backend for your data storage.
With Mastering Kendo UI, you will be taken on a journey through building a fully functioning blog application with Kendo UI.
You start off by installing a toolbox full of awesome functionality
including Kendo UI, Bootstrap, and Telerik’s backend services. Next, you
will build a Content Editor by using the MVVM (Model-View-View-Model)
architecture to control the widgets. You will then move on to creating a
Blog Editor along with a Post Editor and then create and validate a
form. You will also see how to troubleshoot some common issues that
developers face every day. The video series doesn’t stop here, but you
will also learn how to do more with cleaner and more concise code using
the Kendo UI library, jQuery, and Telerik’s Everlive. Once you are done
with the application, you will jump into some more advanced topics and
look into Layouts, Views, and Routing.
At the end of these 120 minutes, you will have a strong foothold on
the important aspects of Kendo UI and will be able to build your own
apps with confidence.
