“Increasing developer productivity is at the core of everything we do at Syncfusion and this release is no different,” said Daniel Jebaraj, vice president of Syncfusion. “Customers will appreciate the vast trove of feature updates and bug fixes that have been added to this release of Essential Studio.”
The release comes with full support for Visual Studio 2017, the latest version of Microsoft’s software development environment.
“Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 takes developer productivity to a whole new level,” said Jebaraj. “There is nothing like it on the market, especially for mobile development. Syncfusion is excited to announce that Essential Studio 2017 Volume 1 is completely compatible with publicly available versions of Visual Studio 2017.”
