Courtesy of Telerik, a new line of user interface extensions for ASP.NET MVC is here, and that’s rather significant. Another interesting note: this marks the first time Telerik has made tech available under an open source license.
Let’s return to the subject of those user interface extensions, though. Here’s a bit relevant info: a lot of people agree that BMWs are some of the best-driving cars on the planet. Look over reviews of them covering the past few years, though, and you’ll notice that even the biggest fans couldn’t help but be enraged by the awful iDrive interface.
The fact that poor radio and navigation controls could piss off professional evaluators and the owners of “ultimate driving machines” should prove how important user interfaces are.
Anyway, Vassil Terziev, the co-CEO of Telerik, gave some details about his company’s offering by calling it “a purpose-built UI suite that fully leverages the advantages of Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC framework.”
He then continued, “By developing native architecture from the ground up that is tailored specifically to the ASP.NET MVC environment, we avoid many of the pitfalls associated with non-native controls that have their roots in WebForms. Instead, we are providing a model that is perfectly mated to the MVC platform.”
