I checked AppBuilder in Telerik, it allows us to check the development instantly in mobile. Is there any IDE to use like that for developing mobile app in Kendo?
After some research from my side, Sublime Text 2 and Visual studio can be used to develop Kendo mobile application with help of Command Line Interface(CLI).

I am looking to develop a Windows 10 Universal app based in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for use on Microsoft Surface tablets primarily. I have found information that says it can be done on this page, but at the very bottom of the page it says it is in beta. However, I can't seem to find anything more than that post. No updates, or documentation or anything. Does anyone know if you can do this from the PhoneGap app on Mac OS?
If not, I guess the next best option it to do it on a Windows machine using Visual Studio 2017 and Cordova?
Any information anyone has on this subject would be helpful.
Thanks!
No, I am pretty sure you can't build UWP apps on macOS. The reason is quite similar as the reason you cannot build iOS apps on Windows - you could build the JS portion of your code, but the problem is the fact that UWP build tools and SDKs are OS specific and unless Microsoft specifically ports them to macOS, they cannot work there.
You could use Parallels and run Windows as second OS, or use a build server to build the app in the cloud. Visual Studio App Center is a very good solution for you purpose as it allows you to configure a full build pipeline including UWP, iOS and Android builds.
You can actually develop a UWP app using phoneGap on Mac if you are building it using web technologies. (HTML, CSS, Javascript) But you can not build/publish the app on Mac, but if you have a Creative Cloud account, you can use Phone Gap Build to upload it to the service and have it built there.
So my company already has a long running application they've been using and updating for decades. But it's only ever been used and programmed for a desktop. It's all coded in Visual Studios in C#, which is what I understood is what's needed to use Xamarin. So they want to turn it into a mobile application now.
I was curious can I turn this Desktop application into Mobile Application through Xamarin? Does it change the C# written in Visual studios into something usable for iOS? Or did the C# already have to be set up to be used for a mobile application? Which confused me because I don't know of any phones that are programmed in C#.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Our team would like to develop an application in Visual studio and Xamarin. The app needs to be supported in both Mac and Windows. We prefer Xamarin because the back end code can be shared. If possible, how to build and publish it so that it can be only installed in the machines. We are not planning to submit this app to the corresponding app stores.
You can write and Windows Application with C# using WinForms, WPF, WinRT (Windows Store apps).
Also you can write Mac application with C# using Xamarin.Mac.
To share the code between Windows App and Mac App, you just need to split your code into shareable Business Logic (part) and specific UI part.
To share the code, just use PCL libraries.
Yes.
The core business logic can be written in shared code usable on both platforms.
You have a couple of choices of how to develop the UI. You can use native or Xamarin Forms.
If you use native then I would suggest using the MVVM pattern with a framework like MvvmCross. You can then write the bulk of your app in shared code and just write the UI in platform-specific code, with the windows UI written as a standard windows WPF or UWP app, and the Mac app written using Xamarin.Mac using the native Mac API.
If you want to use Forms then you may have to compile the binaries yourself to get Mac support as it won't be available till roughly May 2017, but you could get started building a Forms app for UWP/Windows now and add the Mac project once it is available.
I have developed applications for Android and iOS using DevExtreme framework.
Can we develop windows desktop apps using Devextreme?
If yes please provide guidelines or steps to get started.
Please help on this.
Are you looking for something like this?

Yes, you can do it. I suppose you use Visual Studio to develop windows apps. If so, the DevExtreme Multi-Channel project template supports WinJS app.
Just create a new Multi-Channel app:
Then, you will be able to select WinJS project template:
The DevExtreme documentation contains some information about WinJS development.
Also, I suppose, you can use Electron. Unfortunately, I have no experience with this tool. And there is one restriction here: Electron supports Windows 7 and later.
Is there a plugin for VS2012 that will allow me to view my MVC4 pages as in mobile device? Some sort of emulator.
thanks
If you want to create a responsive page/layout, I would choose a responsive framework like twitter bootstrap.
There's a nuget package, even if I would download the css and javascript and implement it myself.
It's quite easy to grasp and you can find lot of tutorials.
If what you're asking is a tool which can allow you to test and render your asp.net MVC app in a mobile device you can try opera mobile emulator.
