Progress Announces NativeScript 2.0 for Native Mobile App Development with Angular 2
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced the latest release of NativeScript®,
the open source framework from Telerik, a Progress company, enabling
developers to use JavaScript to build native mobile apps running on all
major mobile platforms. With the release of the NativeScript 2.0
solution, Angular developers can now write native mobile applications
for iOS and Android using Google's (News - Alert) Angular 2 JavaScript framework,
delivering high-performing, native mobile applications with maximum
skill and code reuse. The announcement was made today during a keynote
presentation at ng-Conf in Salt Lake City, Utah.
AngularJS is one of the most popular open source JavaScript frameworks
for application development, and its latest version, Angular
2 RC, makes it possible to use Angular outside of a web browser. The
newly announced NativeScript integrations with Angular 2 reduce the cost
of building mobile applications by enabling developers to reuse existing
skills and code from the web to build their mobile applications. By
eliminating the need to recruit and staff a variety of mobile experts in
languages for a specific platform or for a special purpose, the
NativeScript and Angular solutions integration significantly decreases
the learning curve and ramp-up time for Angular developers to build
native mobile apps.
"Angular integration first shipped with our popular Kendo
UI library nearly two years ago, and we continue to see high demand
for Angular from our community. For the more than one million developers
using the Angular framework to write interactive web applications, the
NativeScript 2.0 framework reprsents a giant leap forward-they can
finally create zero-compromise mobile apps with Angular featuring truly
native UI and performance," said Todd Anglin, Chief Evangelist and VP
Technology, Progress.
Developed and supported by Progress, the NativeScript solution is unlike
traditional hybrid or web apps; it produces native apps, using
platform-native UI to deliver maximum performance-even on older Android (News - Alert)
devices-while still making it easy to share code and skills between the
web and different platforms. Together, the NativeScript and Angular
solutions offer a powerful one-two punch for developers looking to
deliver the best web and mobile experiences using shared code and
skills. In addition, reusing skills by writing native apps with
JavaScript, and using Angular 2 in the NativeScript framework opens the
door to sharing code between web and native apps.
"The NativeScript framework is paving the way for mobile application
development." said Brad Green, Engineering Director, Angular Google.
"For several months, our developers have been working closely with the
NativeScript engineering team to make Angular 2 in NativeScript a
reality. Together, the Angular 2 RC and NativeScript solutions are a
powerful combination that enables developers to use the same framework
and code to build modern apps for the web and, now, native mobile apps."
