Speaking of good times, have you been sitting on a terrace recently? No, because that's what we're going to talk about today.

This week's article is all about developers, yes ... there's something for everyone. How are you? Whit Monday and all that ... yeah well, that's no reason to get up and get to work. What's a slug? For the guys at the back, we'll remind you what a slug is. It's a "string" normalized so that it can be inserted into a URL, for example on the article you're reading in your address bar there's no "index.php?article=49" because well .... it's ugly (if it's ugly, that's all.), a nice URL that l...

New week, new article! How are you? The wife? The kids? The goldfish? (is the goldfish important?)

Naaaaaa but don't go away, it's an interesting subject! promise?. Before you start I'm redirecting you to the "asymmetric encryption" paragraph of my article on ransomware, because there's no p...

Remember the 1990s? Remember what? Some of you weren't born then? Ah OK .... all right! Back in the 90s, a "trendy new thing" was just starting to make waves, and for the most part, apart from a small group of geeks, nobody could see what it could be used for... that trendy little thing was... the Internet. Thirty years on, I think we've understood what it could be used for.... For me, blockchain is a bit like the Internet at the time, nobody really knows what it could be used for, and in 30...

Come on, this week I'm making enemies! Here we go! Since the beginning of the crisis, we've been seeing "Get a website and increase your visibility" all over the place. Watch out! Hold on to your hats, a huge "scoop" is coming: a site costing just a few euros a month won't bring you ... ANYTHING. What's that? What do you mean you knew? Ah yes, nothing worthwhile in life is easy to achieve... that's true. What's a website for? Let's say you had your "ma-super-boutique.com" website made,...

Ahhhh, passwords ... I've already talked about them in a previous article, but in this one we're going to talk about a method for saving our dear little users from having to remember their passwords... Apple now makes it possible to "sign in with Apple", basically the same thing as Google, Facebbok and all the others. But! the Apple way... In this article, we'll look at how to integrate this feature into a Symfony application. You need Apple developer access to access "sign in with Apple...

New week, new article, how are you? Well, the title isn't crazy, we agree, but SEO and all that ... You're present on social networks, you have subscribers, relations ... etc. (in short, there are people in your network!), but when you publish something, your publication reaches few people ... so you ask yourself "But WHY? "I'd say, "That's just the way it is, life's unfair", but that'd be pointless and would evade the question.... Social networks are private companies I think it's wort...

Like any dev, I sometimes want to test small pieces of code, make an example landing page to test a service or API... In short, there are many cases where you just want to try something out, without it being a full-fledged project. To do this, of course, we run our development environment on our own machine, "locally". Let the world benefit from our local project Okay, that's all well and good, but what if we need to access this local code from the outside? And yes, it can happen...

Following the fire in a datacenter in France, I saw reactions on social networks such as "I've got my company in your servers", which gave me the idea of writing this article.Of course, it's not the owner of the data center who's to blame here, but accidents like this do happen, so you need to be prepared. By having a data backup strategy. Can you imagine? Losing your accounting data? I've already touched on this subject in my article "How to protect yourself from ransomware". The disaster r...

I thought it would be interesting to write an article on the subject now that I've set up a Messenger bot for my Boréales Créations Facebook page. What is a Messenger bot? You've created a robot? It's your fault, isn't it Skynet? Well, not yet anyway. Here the Messenger bot is simply used to answer for you when people, prospects, customers write to you on your Facebook page. 😃 You know what it's like when you're busy, you don't necessarily check all the notificat...
