I’ve been working on the Tea Dragons Shopify website so please take a look and let me know if you like it :). As well as refreshing the visual design I’ve also added some Facebook Open Graph integration. Each of the infusions has two Open Graph Actions “Want” and “Drink” that as user can execute against […]

I’ve just finalised and sent to print the first bottle label for our new Tea Dragons Herbal Infusions drinks range so I thought I’d share it.

So I thought it was now time to write an article about how to use RabbitMQ with Android. As Android is Java you can […]
