Challenges
When you’re learning a new programming tool, accessibility is everything. Paul Jahans, the Senior Software Developer at OES, needed to build a desktop application with WPF, but didn’t have experience with the framework. He hoped Telerik would lessen the learning curve, but the platform wasn’t intuitive.
I wanted something that was easy to use with tech support since I’m new to WPF development with MVVM design,
he said. Paul needed a user-friendly development suite with round-the-clock support, so he switched to Essential Studio®.
Solution
Thanks to Essential Studio® WPF, Paul and his team were able to build an application that visualizes data from camera images. The desktop application displays camera image analysis with charts and data-grid data,
Paul said.
Paul and his team were immediately impressed by the toolkit’s seamless integration. They were able to get started quickly, and as soon as they reached a development hurdle, our committed support team was there to troubleshoot.
It was fairly easy to get started with the demos and sample code,
Paul said. Sometimes tech support was required, but they were very speedy with their responses.
Overall, Essential Studio® made learning WPF a breeze. Essential Studio® tools certainly decreased my development time while learning WPF,
Paul said. The visual controls are very easily configurable.
