Yelp launches Yelp Fusion, Microsoft creates Vcpkg tool, and the new Touch Sense SDK for Android developers—SD Times news digest: Sept. 20, 2016


Yelp is announcing a new program designed to provide developers with easier access to local data and content. Yelp Fusion will provide broader content and search tools, as well as a new initiative to integrate the Yelp Fusion API into developer education.

“As devices and services are increasingly expected to be locally aware, Yelp content is more important than ever,” said Chad Richard, senior vice president of business and corporate development at Yelp. “We are delighted at the amazing array of independent developers, startups and industry leaders who want to integrate Yelp content. We have had over 1,000 developers involved in the Yelp Fusion public beta program. We can’t wait to see these new experiences roll out.”

Microsoft creates open-source tool Vcpkg
Microsoft announced the availability of Vcpkg on GitHub, a tool that simplifies acquiring and building open-source libraries on Windows.

According to senior program manager of the Visual C++ team Eric Mittelette, acquiring native libraries on Windows is a critical part of the application development process. Microsoft surveys said that the current process of acquiring native libraries falls below C++ developers’ expectations when compared to other platforms, so the Visual C++ team decided to examine the platforms to see what they could create.

Vcpkg was created with a set of principles, such as eschewing the need for installation, providing customizable builds, a ports collection approach, and making open-source tools available. All of the features in this new tool are detailed here.
