Summary

The Telerik and Kendo UI R1 2020 release has landed. Check out the latest updates and learn what's new!
We work hard to make continuous and steady progress for you every day!
Over 30 years ago, Masaaki Imai sat down to write the groundbreaking book KAIZEN: The Key to Japan’s Competitive Success. Through this book, the term Kaizen was introduced in the world.
"Kaizen means improvement. Moreover, it means continuing improvement in personal life, home life, social life, and working life. When applied to the workplace Kaizen means continuing improvement involving everyone – managers and workers alike." —Masaaki Imai
Kaizen fundamentals are solid, simple and straightforward:
  • Standardize. Come up with a process.
  • Measure. Quantify exactly how good that process is.
  • Compare. Make sure your process is meeting specific needs.
  • Innovate. Find and remove redundancy and waste.
  • Standardize. Come up with a better process based on what you've learned.
  • Repeat. Do it all over again.
 
Following the Kaizen philosophy, we had 120 days for continuous improvements from our previous release on September 18, 2019 up to now in the Telerik and Kendo UI products. We use every single day to progress forward with steady, stable steps. And now, the new release of Telerik and Kendo UI is here!
With newly released controls, features and improvements you as developers will be perfectly equipped with everything you need to deliver outstanding and visually appealing applications across web, desktop and mobile in less time and with less effort.
Read on for more details, and for those of you who just want to get the bits right away, you can get them here.
