2017. It's already here. Before you rush off for the holidays, here are six great articles about some of the things you can expect to see in the next year. Read on to be in the know!

Mike Milinkovich shares what he thinks open source and the Eclipse community have in store for us in 2017. Next, Steve Northover shares his views on the future of the cloud and pair programming, Alex Schladebeck tells us what the ghost of testing past and future have taught us, and Stefan Oehme tells us about the future of build tools. Lastly, Sven Efftinge sheds light on the future of the language server protocols and Cédric Brun describes what graphical modeling holds for 2017.

The Devoxx US schedule is now available and the Eclipse Converge speakers will be notified very soon. If you're into IoT, you'll be happy to hear that these events will also be co-located with the Eclipse IoT Day in San Jose.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Frohe Weihnachten! And to those of you not celebrating - happy end of December!

Open Source in 2017

What trends and directions are waiting for the Eclipse open source community in the new year?

Pair Programming in the Cloud

Pair Programming is a tenet of agile software development in which two programmers focus their energies simultaneously on one code base.

The Ghost of Tests Yet to Come…

The ghosts of testing past and present give insight into what we can expect for the future of testing.

The Future of Build Tools

One of the most important aspects of a build tool is to make developers and build engineers highly productive. In 2017, innovations that used to be reserved to the most advanced engineering companies will become mainstream.

Eclipse Is Learning New Protocols

Eclipse LSP4E project is bringing language servers to the Eclipse IDE. Language support for C#, JSON Schema, and much more, will soon be connected to our favorite IDE!

Graphical Modeling from 2016 to 2017: Better, Faster, Stronger

Modeling is the right way to help IT and industry engineers collaborate efficiently on the design of their smart products.
