Dear followers, here is my 10th « Technical News » which is mainly press review around Continuous Integration, development and DevOps tooling.

As you know, Continuous Integration is not only a way to build automatically, but also a path to development industrialisation.
That’s why you will find here news on Web development, build tools, architecture (API design) but also methods and processes (like DevOps).

A focus on Gitlab project, which deliver new versions almost every 3 days!

AngularJS v2 beta is out, with a lot of improvements. It is still possible to give feedback to the team through GitHub.

Android Studio v2 preview is out with improvements on the emulator.

I hope you will find here some interesting information on your current investigations. Most of them are in English, but some are in French.
Don’t hesitate to comment these informations if you think they could be useful for our current challenges.
