Read below to catch up on news from Nrwl and Nx team members for Summer, 2020.

Our focus remains on developer tools for the community and our clients

A message from Amanda Connon-Unda, Nrwl’s VP of Marketing:

“I’m happy to report that Nrwl is continuing to grow as a distributed company and hiring more JavaScript experts to work with our client teams. So far we’ve worked with close to 50 clients and we’ve worked with many of them to build software using our open source monorepo toolkit Nx. Our clients enjoy that we help them to implement our own products and they receive high-leverage consulting from our Nx monorepo development experts. As always, our focus remains on helping our clients and the community through building developer tools.

Recently, following the release of Angular 10, Victor Savkin wrote his latest blog post “Angular is an Onion” in which you’ll find out about Nrwl and Nx’s role within the Angular ecosystem, and hear a positive outlook on the framework’s future. The Nx team also recently published our plans for Nx version 11.”

Remote work is our forté

A message from Nicole Oliver, Senior Software Engineer at Nrwl:

“Nrwl has been primarily a remote company from day one, and in the wake of the pandemic, there are many other companies now joining us. We have found that when working with our clients, we already have the remote work expertise and insights that we can now share with other teams. Read my blogwith tips if you’re looking to tune up your remote work experience.”

Nrwl also welcomes Tasos Bekos, an Angular expert who previously held Architect roles at fintech companies ViaBill and ZuLuTrade, and developer roles at Backbase and Ergologic. He holds a Master’s degree in Engineering from Panepistimion Patron (University of Patras).

Tasos enjoys working on software development and architecture best practices, and CI pipelines. He has followed AngularJS and Angular from their early days and he contributed to two popular open source UI component libraries (Angular UI Bootstrap and ng-lightning). He has experience in componentization, API design and more advanced Angular techniques. He is also an experienced Nx developer, and he worked with Nx in his last role in order to solve the problem of code sharing between various complex applications. He said, “I am curious to see how Web Components will evolve, and how Nx will continue to support them in the best way.”

Tasos explained, “When I decided to join Nrwl it was clear to me that it’s a place where anyone can learn and grow by working alongside very talented and helpful people. At the same time, I am super excited to have the chance to contribute to high quality products that help others in their daily work. I am really looking forward to working on Nx and Nx Cloud and gaining experience in the underlying technologies involved. I am also especially excited about Svelte, and would be interested in building an Nx plugin for it in the future.” You can follow Tasos on Twitter @tbekos.”

Nx 10 is Here!

A message from Jason Jean, Architect on the Nx team

“Last month we released Nx 10, which gave you more customizable workspaces, Angular 10 support, and better WebStorm/Jest integration. Coming very soon, we’ll be releasing the final version of Nx 9.6, with some features from Nx 10 backported.

With a lot of the effort focused towards preparing Nx 10, the Nx team is refocusing on fixing bugs for the next few weeks rather than releasing new features. We have laid out our plans leading up to Nx 11 in this Github Issue so please take a look and join the discussion!”

Nx Private Cloud Is Here!

A message from Nicole Oliver, Senior Software Engineer at Nrwl

“If you’re interested in being part of our pilot program for Nx Private Cloud, you can request access here. We’ll email you a PDF with all the details, including information about how pricing works. You’ll also get access to the Nx Private Cloud image from DockerHub along with a license key to activate the container. If you like Nx Private Cloud and you want to save more hours beyond the first 5 hours every month, you can purchase additional computation caching coupons at your desired price-point.

Plus, we want to share more new features with you soon. We’re working hard to improve our analytics dashboards, so we can show you more details about single runs. We’re also adding organization management options, which will allow you to update memberships within your team and give others access to workspaces you own. These are features many of our current users are asking for, and we look forward to delivering these to you soon!”
