Last Week
Our London PWA meetup was held, 80+ signed up for it. See some pictures of it from our meetup group.
Still not building PWA:s? Be sure not to miss our next Developer meetup were we’ll have a “build your first PWA” workshop. If you want to learn more about PWA (before building one), the Oslo PWA meetup is for you. Be sure to sign up for both!
Last week we focused a lot on brushing up our developer training courses, improving pace and flow, while also improving our certification test.
We’re still on the lookout for our next co-worker in Oslo. Are you the one Demand Generation Manager we’re looking for? Or do you know the one? Let us know!
Keep connected here in our forums and through our open Slack channels.
Enonic Releases
No new releases last week. We’re still hard at work on 6.14, but no fixed release date just yet. Keep yourself updated here in our forums.
If you’re not updated on the many great new things we’ll see in 6.14, I can give you a teaser. We’re getting full localization in every custom schema (meaning developers can add full localization in their apps’ editor-facing labels).
Enonic Market
Enonic Market had these updates last week:
PWA Starter - 1.3.0 (and 1.2.0) - released last week, lands a few nice improvements.
RSS feeds - 0.13.0 - still in beta, but now updated to latest XP and Gradle.
