barkoder for Window & Linux is in open beta

Placeholder is pleased to announce that our work on officially releasing the barKoder SDK for both Windows and Linux is nearly complete! We welcome all interested parties willing to participate in the open beta to get in touch with us by email via contact@barkoder.com. The Windows and Linux barKoder SDK will be good for both desktop and server-based applications and will come with respective sample applications. 

The official release will mark the end of the development roadmap when it comes to supporting all relevant development platforms and frameworks. In that regard, we recently also released the barKoder for Cordova and NativeScript. We expect the Windows SDK to be also incorporated in our .NET Maui iteration, marking the full support of all platforms within the framework.
