Technical sharing
Sharing knowledge, particularly specific techniques solving problems we encountered, is crucial to increasing quality and usefulness as software developers. Here I try to share some of the knowledge I have gained through my research & development. Nothing likely to be groundbreaking. It takes a special kind of people to invent solutions.
