BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced several recent successes around its ongoing commitment to .NET development. In 2015, Telerik, a Progress company, continued to drive product innovation forward with support for Visual Studio 2015 and the newly-available beta release of Telerik UI for Universal Windows Platform.

Details about this and other Telerik advancements will be available during the Microsoft Connect(); 2015 conference in New York, November 18, 2015.

When Telerik was founded more than 12 years ago, its leaders were focused on driving .NET innovation forward, said Marina Hristova, Vice President and General Manager, Development Tools, Progress. Today, as we approach our first anniversary as a Progress company, Telerik has continued that commitment in exciting ways, releasing new solutions and encouraging its 1.7 million strong developer community to deliver experiences that customers love.

Microsoft Support and Telerik UI for Universal Windows Platform

As a long-standing supporter of Microsoft development tooling, Telerik continues to advance its solutions to support all new Microsoft releases, often before theyre made available to the general public - ASP.NET 5, ASP.NET MVC 6, Visual Studio 2015, C# 6, Roslyn, the Edge browser, Office 365 and more.

With todays news, Telerik also announced the beta release of Telerik UI for Universal Windows Platform, a set of native UI controls for building Universal Windows Platform apps. To celebrate the next milestone of control suite development and Visual Studio 2015 RTM, Telerik is giving out 1,000 complementary licenses to the first 1,000 developers who download the beta of Telerik UI for Universal Windows Platform. With this release, developers have access to:

Speed an advanced, polished UI toolset makes development with Windows 10 more productive because developers have control over how to maximize shared code.

Unmatched Performance Advanced UI virtualization ensures exceptional performance while the ListView component is fast and fluid, capable of processing hundreds of thousands of records, even on low-end Windows devices.

Customers at Our Core

Developers are the lifeblood of any businesses looking to be part of the era of digital business transformation. Developers define the future of innovation, and those developers continue to choose Telerik tools to create stunning apps. With more than 130,000 paying customers and a developer community of 1.7 million, Telerik has continued to sign new deals, expand current relationships and break into new markets. Customer wins during the last year include Intergraph PP&M, Boston Heart Diagnostics and Harris School Solutions.

Weve been working with Telerik and its .NET development tools for a few years and have continued to find intrinsic value in what they provide. This is, in part, because they stay ahead of market need, providing support for the latest and greatest Microsoft technologies, often before GA, said Shalom Keynan, Director of Application Development, Boston Heart Diagnostics. Telerik allows us to develop applications faster, while still meeting UI requirements. Our developers can focus on business value and solving business challenges, because Telerik removes the repetitive, tactical parts of development. We dont need to re-create the wheel every time.

Telerik will be onsite at the Microsoft Connect(); conference, November 18-19, with its customer Boston Heart Diagnostics, presenting the joint video case study on Telerik and Microsoft technologies which enabled Boston Heart Diagnostics to connect patients, doctors and dieticians and to provide ultimate patient care.
