Infragistics Releases Ultimate 17.1

Infragistics’ UI control suite now extends application development lifecycle support to requirements gathering and usability testing, rapid application development (RAD) tools integrating with Microsoft’s Visual Studio (IDE), and support for emerging modern web and mobile development frameworks.

Cranbury, NJ - June 22, 2017 – Today Infragistics, a worldwide leader in providing tools and solutions that accelerate design, development, and collaboration, released Infragistics Ultimate 17.1. With this release, Infragistics is expanding today’s most popular UI control suite, with support and capabilities across the application development lifecycle. Trusted by more than two million developers world-wide, Ultimate 17.1 supports developers through new prototyping and remote usability testing solutions, RAD tooling and WYSWIG design time experience for Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.Forms, and new, high-performance UI controls for developers building data-intensive JavaScript applications with today’s most popular modern web frameworks, including Angular, React, Knockout, and Bootstrap.

According to the Developer Insights Report by the Application Developers Alliance, 88% of the developers surveyed use more than one programming language, while 57% say staying current with new languages, frameworks, and tools is one of their biggest challenges. Using familiar UI controls and productivity tools like those found in Infragistics Ultimate can help smooth the transition between platforms, and help businesses keep costs down as their development teams are often tasked with supporting desktop applications and working on new web and mobile solution efforts.
