Developer Updates
In yet another exciting update from the developers, we are proud to announce that our C# API Library is in the review stage of completion. This means that C# users will soon be able to interact with the blockchain, and integrate RISE blockchain interactions into their own applications. C# is a programming language that aims to combine both the computational power of C++, and the ease of use of VisualBasic. As one of the most popular coding languages in the world, we are proud to add C# to our list of API Libraries. RISE currently has both Python and Java API libraries available on GitHub, so check them out here: https://github.com/risevision

Cormac (@alty) is currently travelling to and from Gibraltar, to ensure corporate governance for the future of RISE Vision. The Castle Trust Group, whose expertise in implementing companies and regulatory frameworks expands over 20 years, is advising us. The Group has a trusted network of associates in jurisdictions globally and ensure companies under their management comply with standard financial and legal practices. Cormac is ensuring RISE Vision operates and complies with all applicable policies and procedures, such as KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). A new regulatory framework for Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) will become operational from January 2018, which will regulate the activities of businesses operating in, or from Gibraltar.

RISE Development Progress
Our developers at RISE are constantly working on new projects that benefit the RISE ecosystem. Here are some of the current projects we are working on and how far along we’ve come in the development process.

-TypeScript Rewrite of Rise Core
As you may know from our announcement in the past, Andrea is rewriting the RISE core in TypeScript. Typescript is a typed superset of JavaScript that helps developers during the workflow. The main functions of TypeScript that it eases development, enforces coding standards and reduces debugging time by 15%. By Andrea rewriting our core code, we will be able to leverage all of these advantages.

-Integrating TRAVIS into the Rise Developers Work Flow
TRAVIS is a continuous integration system that lets developers easily test pull requests.
In other words, it helps to automatically test new code against written tests providing an indicator whether the newly introduced code is good. More info on TRAVIS: https://travis-ci.org/

-RISE Core Unit Testing
Unit tests are a way to test code behavior and check if it functions, according to the developer's specifications and intentions. They're particularly helpful to avoid introducing unexpected bugs into the RISE Core Code when changing or refactoring code.

-RISE Desktop Wallet for Linux
RISE currently offers a web wallet as well as Desktop wallets for Windows and Mac. A RISE Linux Desktop wallet is also under development.

-C# API Wrapper Library
RISE is constantly working to support more popular code languages, to make it very easy to build applications using these languages which interact directly with the RISE blockchain. A JavaScript and Python library have already been developed. Now in development is a library especially for the C# developers among us.

-RISE Mobile App Store
A whitepaper is currently being written, which will lay out the details and inner workings of the RISE Mobile App Store and will provide a sense of clarity amongst users and developers that will utilize the RISE platform.

-Interlet Pre-Ann Website
Interlet is an exciting new project being developed under the banner of the RISE Incubator Program. The Pre-Ann Website is in the final stages of development and bounty campaigns for social media are being prepared.

Next newsletter is 1st of December 2017!
