The Q2 2015 Release of the Telerik DevCraft suite contains a host of new features to accommodate the needs for responsive design and more. 

It’s summer time in most places in the world. And that means time to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Who wants to be stuck at their desk working late when the sun awaits you?

To deliver your software development projects on time and to the delight of your users, you need awesome tooling. Modern, cutting-edge developer tooling should elevate your development experience and enable you to deliver solutions faster than what you would have envisioned even a few months back.

Time to chin up—because your beloved Telerik® DevCraft Complete suite will be upgraded in a couple of weeks. Time to unpack all that’s new and shiny.

Are you tired of hearing development paradigms that claim you can "write once and run everywhere?" Yeah, we developers know that most times such claims translate to "write once and struggle everywhere!" We get it. You need specialized tooling for platform-specific web, desktop and mobile apps. Which is why the DevCraft Q2 release has a razor-sharp focus on the core functionality that powers your specific apps.
