Open source framework brings high-level programming to quantum computing, making complex quantum algorithms easier to build, optimise, and maintain

Modernizing an Eclipse RCP application is still a significant re-architecture, but AI-assisted development is changing the economics. This article explores how AI can accelerate codebase analysis, testing, business logic extraction, UI reimplementation, and repetitive migration work and why now may be the right time to revisit an RCP migration strategy.

11 September marked the first Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) deadline and an important milestone for the ORC community’s work. Months of work went into preparing for it, from testing the Single Reporting Platform to building the CRA FAQ and the ORC Learning Hub.
