Camunda Node.js External Task Client 0.1.0-alpha Released
We are so excited to announce what the team has been cooking for the past few weeks: camunda-external-task-client.js, a Node.js client for Camunda External Tasks!

Creating a 3D renderer for BPMN
BPMN Diagrams are usually displayed as two-dimensional images. A top-down view of the process, that focuses on readability and is practical for day-to-day work. Those of you who were at BPMCon 2017 will probably remember the interactive experience “Be A Token” where you could walk around in a BPMN process in virtual reality. This blog post describes how the 3D rendering of bpmn processes is built with JavaScript using bpmn-js and A-Frame. If you missed BPMCon or did not get the chance to play it in virtual reality, there is an online version of “Be A Token” which can be played in the browser.

Custom Tasklist examples
Camunda’s flexible architecture allows users to combine the workflow engine with custom user interfaces. The Camunda BPM Platform itself comes with a default Tasklist. But what happens if we don’t like the approach or the technology used behind the default Camunda Tasklist? How can we build our own Tasklist that leverages Front-End frameworks and technologies that we have chosen as a user rather than Camunda? Throughout this blogpost I will showcase how different Front-End frameworks can be used together with Camunda BPM to build a custom Tasklist.
