Within no time we had a big crowd around our booth talking about the latest from Telerik technologies. Most of the talk was around our AJAX/Kendo UI suites. We give away our much loved Ninja T-shirts to the most enthusiastic lot. We had a lot of questions on our DevCloud offering as well.TechEdCrowd

There were more than 80 students who shown interest in attending workshop. We chosen 13 out of them. Event started at 11 am . Workshop was scheduled till 6 pm but seeing high energy and enthuse of students , we extended workshop by 2 hrs more. Workshop got over at 8pm.

  • Difference between Native Apps and Hybrid Apps
  • Design guidelines for Hybrid App

As day progressed students learnt about various aspect of Hybrid App development paradigm. They created app using Icenium and Kendo UI Mobile.

All 13 students created these two Hybrid Apps

  1. Twitter Search Application
  2. Indian State App

In order to create these two apps students learnt about ,

  • Working with Kendo UI data source
  • Working with Kendo UI Mobile ListView
  • Working with Kendo UI Template
  • Understanding Icenium IDE
  • Building and packaging app using Icenium
