Case Study: Methylium achieves a fast Windows 8 app launch with Telerik controls

Methylium - how Telerik helped Booking.com get into the Windows 8 store ahead of the platform's launch

Methylium was under intense pressure to help Booking.com launch a Windows 8 app in the store before the platform’s official debut, with only six weeks to match the functionality of its iOS and Android apps. The project required multilingual support, secure payments, filtered search, Bing Maps integration, and a date picker with strict booking rules and culture-aware formatting.

To meet the deadline, Methylium used Telerik controls for Windows 8, especially the Telerik date picker, which provided built-in validation and localization support out of the box. Telerik helped the team avoid building custom UI components, saving valuable time and enabling the app to be completed and accepted in the Windows 8 Store on schedule; Methylium reported that Telerik controls were high quality and worth using in future projects.
