This document introduces Telerik Platform, which allows developers to build hybrid mobile applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that run as native apps. It provides tools like AppBuilder, a cloud-based IDE, compiler, and simulator/debugger. Apps can be deployed to iOS and Android through QR codes or app stores. Additional Telerik services like Kendo UI, Backend Services, and Analytics can enhance apps. Developers are encouraged to sign up for a Platform account and try the tools through various SDKs and extensions.
