Ignition 8.1.8: Visualization Updates, Expression Language, OPC UA, Docker and Much More Arnell Ignacio Wed, 08/04/2021 - 13:03
Moving at a steady pace, the release train has been on the go since Ignition 8.0 was introduced to the world. With all the far reaches the train has traveled, occasionally it needs to come in for maintenance and get a tune-up. Ignition 8.1.8 brings some maintenance updates and "fit and polish" to Ignition, helping to improve stability, quality-of-life, and workflow. Many of the updates in 8.1.8 range widely, touching upon visualization, expressions, and OPC UA, just to name a few.

Meet Kathy: Software Engineering Department Manager, Mentor, Hiker, and Professional Quilter Lauren Walters Fri, 05/21/2021 - 08:51
Software Engineering Department Manager Kathy Applebaum knows a thing or two about development, whether that means building in Ignition or helping her students at Sacramento State University gain the skills they’ll need to succeed. Since joining Inductive Automation back when there were only a half-dozen developers, she has casually broken barriers and refuted misconceptions about women in technology. Most of all, Kathy has remained grounded, still wide-eyed about her ability to take an idea and make it a reality, plus have fun doing it.
