Developer tools and solutions provider Telerik has released a new version of its framework for building applications and Web sites with HTML5 and JavaScript that supports Java.
This version, the third release of the framework, introduces Java server-side wrappers, which make it possible for devs to use their existing JavaServer Pages (JSP) coding skills.
Telerik introduced server wrappers in its second release last summer. “Server wrappers address the reality that, as more and more businesses come into the HTML5 and JavaScript space, a lot of the developers will have built up years — decades — of skills in server-side languages, like .NET and Java,” said Todd Anglin, vice president of Telerik’s HTML5 Web and Mobile Tools group. “They want to adopt the power of HTML5 and JavaScript, but they want to use the skills and familiar tools that make them productive.”
Developers simply write their code using the tools and languages they know, Anglin told ADTmag, and the wrappers automatically generate the necessary HTML5 and spit out all the related Kendo UI JavaScript.
