Comment on Kendo UI - a framework for modern HTML UIparent

Comments

After poking around on their website, I noticed that this library is being developed by Telerik (http://www.telerik.com/), which is a pretty big vendor for .net libraries.

The trouble is I don't think they have a library for MVC3-ish apps with a front-end focus. At my place of work, we are ditching the traditional asp.net development and porting our app to MVC3. In the switch our Telerik .net controls were no longer usable, and we switched to jQuery UI.

I'm sure this will just end up being their solution to jQuery UI, to the corporate types that already use their current offerings.

It's funny because Telerik's evangelist has been pushing HTML5 hard lately (http://www.telerikwatch.com/) and I found it curious because Telerik's current offerings are useless to anyone who wants to write an HTML5 solution on MVC (they do have a half hearted MVC project but it pales in comparison to the free solutions available for Javascript/JQuery development)

They've ported their controls to work under the .NET MVC umbrella: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc
