Since we are moving to a new blogging platform (and not moving the posts over) I thought it was a good opportunity to reflect back at some blog posts I’ve written since I started blogging about 7 years ago during the early years of Atalasoft. Even as the author, it’s interesting to read about our progress and my take on it. Please Enjoy!
