This ebook was amazing! I've used Kendo UI with jQuery and PHP but I wanted to explore what ASP.NET had to offer and it was not as complicated as I figured it would be, that's the perk of using a framework I suppose. This ebook lays out everything clearly and maintains structure from start to end. I never felt lost reading or applying the material from the book into the test applications, which you can easily build off of.I highly recommend you check this out if you are interested in Kendo UI with ASP.NET

This was an excellent book to get a good solid understanding of Kendo to starting building applications with it. In my case I'm not using a .NET backend so you can skip that chapter and they provide a backend that you can use. But the examples are extremely clear, the material is logically laid out, the application that you build (a movie ticketing application) is sufficiently complex to get a broad overview of the framework, and it prepares you well to build your own applications. Its a very good add-on to the kendo documentation and I can definitely recommend this highly.

First of all say that this book is all you need to make professional mobile applications that interact with web API services. You can learn how to develop frontend Kendo UI Mobile client application, learn how to develop backend Web API Service for mobile application, and learn how to build an end-to-end mobile application with Kendo UI Mobile using ASP.NET Web API as the service backend (frontend + backend).The author give us all the necessary tools and tips to develop, such as IDE editors (Visual Studio), emulators (Ripple from RIM), browser extensions (Advanced Rest Client for Chrome) and KendoUI.The book explains all the core concepts of Kendo Framework Elements (datasource, templates, MVVM), Kendo UI Mobile Widgets and Web API service (hosting, routing, binding, securing, methods) and the complete integration, around a real-world mobile sample application called "Movie Tickets" with example code files on editor’s site packtpub.com and on JsFiddle.net, so reader can easily learn and interact with them, allowing us develop real-world mobile applications for iOS, Android, Blackberry and any other os mobiles.

With a remarkably simple language, author explains the core concepts along with recipes to build mobile application suite. While it's not a comprehensive reference book, it definitely explains plethora of tools and approaches to make you a professional in building HTML5 mobile applications.

I liked this book as the examples were well written (e.g. using the Revealing Module Pattern)- Telerik tends to post very simple examples that no one actually uses. It's not a big book but easy to read and if you are developing with Kendo then this will get you up and running.
