Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article 🙂 Today I wanted to tell you about a step in the life of a dev that took me many hours (days): Validating an app through Meta services (Facebook). "Wait a minute, what do you mean a Facebook app? They already have one, I have it on my smartphone." 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...

Hey there 😁, Thank you for clicking on this article, I hope you like it 😉. Well, uh... aren't we supposed to be in spring right now? No, because it's cold in the Far East... Ah yes, that's right, we're still not here for it 😮, guess I'm doing it on purpose huh 😛 (yes, I'm totally doing it on purpose). This week it's going to be a cool little article, the big articles will come back, don't worry, but this week, we're just going to go for a microservice...

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 😅. Ah yes, it's true we're still not here to talk weather... I'm sorry (well, I think.). This week, we're going to play with CSS and completely break Twig, you'll see it's fun, well, it's a bit "not very clean" as a method, but hey, on this blog, I tell you all about it. Anyway, this week, we're making art...

Greetings 🙂, At the end of my last article, I told you that I would go further on CSS optimization. Except that in the meantime, things have changed a bit... Originally, this week's article wasn't the one that was planned. And yes, the basic article was "how to use Tailwind with Symfony", but the program has changed. I'll explain why: I don't know how to make a simple project like a "Todo List" or a "hello world", simply because I keep asking myself "but what's the point?"...

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? If you're in web development, there's a good chance you are 😁. Today we're going to destroy it... actually no... we're just going to look at one of the problems it has and how to solve it (in part). What is Bootstrap? Bootstrap is a well-known and widely-used CSS framework, created by Twitte...

Hello over here 🙂, It's been a while since I took the time to write on the blog, and yes, I had a lot of work 😁. Don't worry I haven't forgotten you, during my big work period I've been using PageSpeed a lot, and that's what we're going to talk about today. Let's get started 😛 What is PageSpeed? PageSpeed is a web application, available to every web developer on the planet. It was introduced at Google's developer conference in 2010, but I've mostly been h...

Hello there! 😃 It's been a while since we've talked, because a lot happens behind the scenes in the life of a freelance developer. In fact, that's what we're going to talk about today, yes, behind the scenes stuff. I'm going to introduce you to RabbitMQ, a tool that can be very easily coupled with Symfony and that really creates a formidable combo of performance and efficiency. I needed to implement it for a small home-made tool allowing me to schedule publications on social networks...

Hi there, After a comprehensive article on iOS and Symfony-UX/Turbo, we're back to something a little lighter. Much more open, PWAs can be "installed" on users' Android devices as well as on computers. What is a progressive web app, or PWA? First of all, I'd like to tell you that what I'm explaining below is mostly true on Android, on iOS Safari isn't so open, well, yes, but to install a PWA there's no simple click button, Apple asks users to do the manipulation themselves (several clic...

Hi there! Here we are, it's back to school time, and as the first article of the season, we're going to talk about push notifications. Here, we're not going to use the basic example of a notification that consists of sending a "successful backup" notification to your own phone, but we're going to talk about a notification that is sent by an application that keeps me going ... So, we're talking about a "product" in production and used every day by thousands of users, but there's a but: it'...
