Intel discontinues Arduino 101 development board and Curie module
Intel has revealed a significant scaling back in its hardware offerings.
The company has announced it will stop making its Arduino 101 board as well as the Curie module, both of which offered low-cost computing solutions.
DevOps practices help improve the quality of open source components
The use of open source components can help speed up the software development process, but it comes with a risk if poor quality code leads to vulnerable applications being released.
The latest State of the Software Supply Chain Report from DevOps tools specialist Sonatype reveals that organizations which actively manage the quality of open source components flowing into production applications realize a 28 percent improvement in developer productivity, a 30 percent reduction in overall development costs, and a 48 percent increase in application quality.
DigitalOcean launches high performance cloud servers for compute intensive applications
Although cloud-based server infrastructure is becoming more common, it's not usually suited to applications that need very high levels of CPU performance.
Developer-focused cloud platform DigitalOcean wants to change this with High CPU 'Droplets' featuring the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors. These provide ideal support for applications such as ad exchanges, game servers, highly active front-end application servers, and batch processing.
New version of Parallels RAS helps remove barriers to adopting virtual applications
Delivering virtual applications and virtual desktop infrastructure can be a complex and expensive business.
Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) has been a leader in application delivery for some time and is using this week's Microsoft Inspire conference to launch its latest update.
Microsoft makes Visual Studio Code Extension for Arduino open source
Does Microsoft support open source? Absolutely. The company has released many open source projects, and believe it or not, its has the most open source contributors on GitHub. With that said, Microsoft stops short of being a complete open source proponent. After all, the company makes a lot of money from two of its closed source golden geese -- Windows and Office.
Today, Microsoft releases yet another open source tool -- Visual Studio Code Extension for Arduino. This MIT-licensed code should greatly help developers that are leveraging Arduino hardware for Internet of Things-related projects and more.
Microsoft shutters Windows App Studio
Microsoft is killing Windows App Studio, its web-based app development tool. The news was announced late last week by the Windows Apps Team. However, don't be too alarmed -- the Redmond giant has already prepared a replacement.
Windows App Studio has long been the go-to place when it comes to the first steps in app development. Starting as a Windows phone app, it transformed over the years and became available for desktop operating systems, including Windows 10.
Protecting hybrid apps from attackers [Q&A]
In order to speed up development times and roll out their apps across multiple platforms without the need to create entirely new code, companies are increasingly turning to hybrid apps. The problem is that these rely on HTML and JavaScript code which is relatively easy to reverse engineer.
How can businesses prevent this and keep their apps and the data they handle safe from hackers? We spoke to Andrew Whaley VP of engineering for Europe at application protection specialist Arxan Technologies to find out.
New platform aims to speed up digital transformation
Companies are increasingly competing to transform their IT infrastructure to take advantage of the cloud, containers and other technologies that offer greater agility.
California-based appOrbit is launching a new application platform that will allow customers to automate the modeling, delivery, and management of enterprise software onto any modern infrastructure.
BlackBerry lets Android and iOS developers embed BBM into their apps
Developers building enterprise apps for Android and iOS can now embed BlackBerry's messaging system with ease, the company has announced.
The Canadian firm has released an SDK for its famous BBM app, which it hopes can bring secure communications services for users around the world.
New development environment helps bridge the gap between Dev and Ops
As the development cycle evolves, things like testing, monitoring and compliance need to be delivered earlier in order to speed up service delivery.
Enterprise software solutions firm BMC is launching a new development environment to help organizations compete in the digital economy.
How low-code software is meeting development challenges
There’s increasing demand to produce software quickly, which means companies are on the look out for alternatives to traditional coding.
Many are turning to low-code platforms, workflow software specialist TrackVia has created an infographic charting the rise of low-code solutions.
Cloud developer platform launches free firewall protection
DigitalOcean, the cloud platform for software developers is launching a free Cloud Firewalls service to reduce the potential attack surface.
Developers can deploy the service quickly without installing or configuring any software, and are able to define what ports are visible on their cloud servers -- known as Droplets -- to minimize risk.
DevOps automation boosts performance
The highest performing organizations have automated 72 percent of all configuration management processes. And those same high performers spend much less time (28 percent) in manual configuration processes that stall innovation and deployments.
In comparison, low performers are spending almost half of their time (46 percent) on manual configuration. These are among the findings of the latest State of DevOps Report by Puppet, which surveyed 3,200 respondents from organizations of all sizes and across multiple industries.
Changepoint improves Agile project management
While Agile adoption among businesses is on the rise, systems and processes that support fast, continuous planning and delivery continue to lag behind.
Project management company Changepoint is using today's Gartner Program and Portfolio Management Summit to launch new capabilities for its Daptiv PPM solution, allowing businesses to manage traditional and agile projects in tandem.
Cloud-native controller streamlines web app delivery
Getting the best performance, and thus return on investment from their app projects is essential for an increasing number of organizations.
But in traditional delivery models the optimization layer is either separate from the application servers in the form of a content delivery network (CDN), or requires constant manual management and operation.
