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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
