Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article. 🙂 There's a debate that's been raging for a long time in the developer community, namely: PHP vs Javascript. Leaving aside the relevance of such debates (each techno having its pros and cons), today I've decided to perform the complete heresy. 😛 Let's take a look at how to integrate React (a Javascript Front library) into a Symfony project (PHP back-end framework). 😀 "Isn't that a bit counter-intuitiv...

Often scoffed at, Wordpress is nonetheless a must-have, it grew up with the web, Korben 's blog for example, it's a Wordpress 😛 (did you know that?) But this little guy has evolved, and that's why I'm featuring him in this week's article... In fact, I've used it to create the landing page f...

Creating a Meta developer app Here we're not talking about a mobile app, but about applications in the sense of an entity that uses third-party services. Indeed, if you wa...

Hello over here 🙂, Thank you so much for clicking on this article 😁. On the last post, I told you it smelled like spring, but now it's cooled off severely 😅.

Anyway, this week, we're making art...

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll remember that I talked about the importance of updates in a previous post (if you haven't read it, I invite you to go there, but you're welcome to do as you please 😛). When you've been working on a project for a long time, even if it's in production, you may need to make updates as the resources you're using evolve. In general, we use the LTS of these resources, which stands for "Long Term Service". For example, if you're...

Hello over here 🙂, I hope you're well... Well, let's not procrastinate too much, we don't have any of that here and let's get to the heart of the matter? Do you know Bootstrap?
