- RESTful APIs: Standardized APIs for seamless communication.
- Django Rest Framework: A web framework for building APIs quickly. (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/)
- Postman: Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. (https://www.postman.com/)
- OpenAPI: (https://swagger.io/specification/)
Graphics Rendering
For projects requiring advanced graphics rendering capabilities:
- PixiJS: A powerful library for 2D web graphics rendering.
- HTML5 Canvas
- Others: We can take a look at what's available and fits your project.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation is crucial for successful software development. TSG recommends:
- Vitepress: Fast way to create a documentation site using markdown. (https://vitepress.dev/)

At TSG software development group, we believe in the philosophy that 'sharing is caring.'
We organise regular 'Sharing is Caring' sessions within our software development group. These sessions provide a platform for team members to showcase their latest projects, share valuable insights, and discuss innovative solutions. Whether it's a successful implementation, a challenging problem overcome, or a new technology exploration, these sessions are an opportunity for our developers to learn from each other's experiences and collectively enhance our skills.
By actively participating in 'Sharing is Caring' sessions, we strengthen our bonds as a team and stay updated on emerging trends.
How to Get Started
For client assistance or inquiries about our software development services, feel free to reach out to the TSG at tsg@ru.nl for inquiries or assistance.
