RESOURCES

As part of the process of developing Oriel, Tapster Rock has produced software tools, libraries, and other resources which will be useful to organisations and individuals outside of Tapster Rock. As Oriel benefits from using freely available Open Source software libraries, Tapster Rock is keen to reciprocate by distributing resources developed in house that may be useful to others.
