Independent Projects
Another belief at SolSoft Solutions is that the best way to truly understand is by doing: what better way to learn new technologies than by using them to create real solutions for yourself?
In addition to private client work, here are some projects created not only to explore new technologies, but also to create genuinely useful software for its own sake:
