Enhanced Features and Capabilities
The Tizen .NET Developer Preview 2 brings a host of new features and improvements that are designed to make the development process smoother and more efficient. One of the most significant updates is the support for TV app development, which opens up new possibilities for developers looking to create applications for Samsung’s Smart TVs. This is a crucial step as it allows developers to tap into a broader market and create more versatile applications.
In addition to TV app support, the preview also includes new design tools that make it easier for developers to create visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces. These tools are designed to streamline the design process, allowing developers to focus more on functionality and user experience.
“Samsung is excited to release the second preview of Tizen .NET, and will release newer versions of previews every two months until the official version is shipped later this year,” said Hong-Seok Kim, the Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Software R&D Center. “We are fully committed to delighting Tizen developers with .NET.”
