Angular 3 will have better tooling and will generate less code; Google also is promising a new major version twice a year

Angular 3 is hot on the heels of Angular 2 
    •  Fresh from the long-awaited release of its Angular 2 JavaScript framework in mid-September, Google will release Angular 3 in a few short months.
    Expected in March, Angular 3 will focus on improved tooling and a reduction in generated code, said Rob Wormald, of the Angular core team and a developer advocate at Google. It will feature a template compiler that provides feedback in an IDE on errors in a template, and it will generate 25 percent less code, thanks to improved compilation and changes in the framework's underlying mechanics.

    While more than two years passed between the April 2012 introduction of the 1.0 line and the Sept. 15 debut of the rewritten Angular 2 framework, Angular 3 gets a much-accelerated release schedule. Wormald promised a new major version twice a year from now on. "This is just semantic versioning in action for us and it means that we will every six months have a predictable release schedule," he stated.Wormald said he was not aware of any features that would be deprecated in Angular 3, but when features are to be deprecated, the Angular team will let developers know ahead of time and keep supporting that feature for two major release cycles.
    Unlike Angular 2, Angular 3 is not a rewrite. "There's nobody on the team who ever wants to rewrite a framework again," said Wormald. Using TypeScript, Microsoft's typed superset of JavaScript, Angular 2 was rewritten to allow decoupling of the framework from the DOM to enable use of multiple renderers.

Whether you need a place to host your small personal blog or a major corporate website, the following list will help you identify the best hosts to use. Finding the best web hosting service isn’t quite as straightforward as searching Google and choosing the one with the lowest price.

    Google Photos can now stabilize all your shaky phone camera video

    G oogle Photos is where all my photos are. Long ago I was a man of SmugMug, and then Flickr, and then at some point spent days and days copying years of images to iCloud Photo Library before eventually disregarding that and switching to Google. What can I say? I’m a simple person who can be easily delighted and swayed by automatic GIF creation and reliable backups. And Google Photos keeps getting better. Here’s the latest example: now the mobile app can automatically stabilize videos in your camera roll with a tap. A lot of flagship smartphones offer optical image stabilization when shooting video, a hardware feature that helps keep footage smooth. Others, like Google’s Pixel, use software to try and stabilize jerky movements. Putting stabilization inside the Google Photos app could enhance results further if you’re already working with hardware OIS, or improve recordings significantly if your phone lacks any means of steadying things out of the box. The stabilized video is croppe
