It seems likely that I’ll adapt (add minor improvements to) one of the [...]

Though not nearly as sexy as a location-based mobile social network with behavioral profiling for ad optimization (probably a real thing), doing basic software design well is one of our “secrets” at Oasis Digital. So here goes. Today’s topic is how [...]
