Hello Hello ?, Windows isn't my main operating system, in fact I'm more Linux / macOS, but that doesn't stop me from following what's going on with Windows and using it from time to time. It has to be said that Microsoft's work over the last few years has been quite remarkable; between the terminal, "WSL 2" and "Powershell", there's plenty to do. This week, I'd like to talk a little about "PowerToys", a set of tools made available by Microsoft to enhance the Windows experience. As the...

Hey there! 🙂 To read this article, you use a software, this software is so present in your life that now, for you it seems "part of the scenery". I'm talking, of course, about your browser 😛. Over the last ten years, we're not going to lie to ourselves, there's been one all-category champion who's been raking in all the market share, well, especially on the "desktop", I'm talking of course about Google Chrome. On mobile, this is less true, with Apple forcing the use of...

Hello ?, This week, we're going to talk about business servers... (more of a web server, actually). Did you know that since January 2023, 10-year security updates are no longer reserved for RedHat and Microsoft Widows Server? And yes... there's a newcomer, so shall we talk about it? Enterprise and servers As technology enthusiasts/developers, we want to play with the latest toys, download the latest Debian for testing, or install a web server on a Raspberry Pi. But once we ge...

Hello there, This week we're going to talk about what makes a good developer, but not in the way you might think. The idea for this article comes from the discussions I have with my customers and why they enjoy working with me. This article also comes from the fact that, last weekend, I was taking a look at the state of the infrastructure on which this site (and the customers) are hosted, and in two years a lot has happened.... Are you ready? Then let's get started. What this artic...

Hello and welcome to a new world! Well, almost. You couldn't miss it, today everyone's talking about AI, Artificial Intelligence and super-smart robots that do everything for us. < So I thought, this might be a good opportunity to set the record straight on the subject. What is AI? We're talking about artificial intelligence, but that in itself is already shorthand for a machine learning model. In other words, the "computer", i.e. a set of servers, will be able to deduce things by pr...

Hello there, If you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that I've been talking a lot about Symfonfony-UX/Turbo for a few months now, but I've never given any feedback on it. The reason is simple: before giving an opinion, it's necessary to really test the thing... and the best way is to use it with real users over a minimum period of time. To date, my first application with Turbo and Stimulus has been in production for a little over a month now and has seen a few thousand use...

Hello, good morning 😁, To kick off 2023, we're going to talk about freelancing, and more specifically about the different ways of working in the freelancing world. As you'll have gathered from the title, the two most common working methods are agency and fixed-price... but késako? 😛 Contract work Let's start with this, because it's very widespread, especially when the client is a large group. In fact, freelancing is very similar to salaried employment. F...

I think you'll have gathered by now that on this blog we're particularly fond of Symfony. 😛 The robustness and versatility of this framework (I should almost say ecosystem, by the way), we've already talked about here Well, I suppose for this time that the principle I'm going to present also exists in other frameworks, but again, it's really simple to use in Symfony. What's a workflow? This principle is workflow. If you're used to working in an English-speaking context, a workf...

Good morning Good morning, This week, for once, we're going to talk about software development (no kidding??). And I'm going to try to shed some light on why I chose web development over other fields, and ... there are some! (who's for a bit of assembling here??) Got a hot drink handy? OK! Let's get started! Other types of developers This list isn't exhaustive - there are bound to be areas I haven't mentioned - but I'll try to give you an idea of what's out there. Foreword: Wh...

Hello, hello, How are things around here? Not too cold? This week, we're diving back into the world of Symfony with a short article on bundles. We're going to take a look at the bundles you need to know when you're a Symfony developer. The idea here is to bring together the bundles I see and use most often in my projects. Here, we won't really be talking about bundles that are part of the Symfony "core", such as the "DoctrineMigrationbundle", which you'll find everywhere. Are you read...
