Telerik and Kendo UI R3 2020 Release Week Highlights

Always in step with the rapidly evolving .NET and JavaScript ecosystems, our Telerik and Kendo UI R3 2020 release webinar and Twitch sessions (09/28 – 10/2) were dedicated to helping developers keep up with the latest innovations in creating stunning web, desktop and mobile apps. Read on for more details!

Our third release in 2020 is in the history books and we are already cooking the next one, scheduled for January 20, 2021! We are so happy that so many developers attended R3 Release Webinar Week at the end of September and learned more about the 45+ newly components across Telerik and Kendo UI product lines, plus great improvements in Blazor and WinUI, support for .NET 5, Angular 10, Vue 3.0 and many new features and updates!

We are very thankful to our developer advocates for their commitment to keep you up to date with the latest and greatest in .NET and JS development.

As a courtesy to every developer in our dev family, we would like to share the top highlights from the release week and places where you can see the release webinars and Twitch sessions in case you couldn’t attend them. Keep them handy.
