Hello there, Like every week, we're getting together for a little article. This week, I'm going to write an article that's been on my mind for a long time. We're going to talk about Symfony and why it's my framework of choice as a web developer. Are you ready? Let's get started! My discovery of Symfony In fact, in my life as a developer, my first encounter with Symfony went very badly... It wasn't its fault or mine. The first time I met him, I was a student, already quite geeky, cod...

Hi there! In response to some of my latest articles, a few of you have sent me a quick e-mail asking "But ... in legacy applications, what do I replace JQuery with?" So, when a question comes up, you know what we do? We write an article ... for everyone to enjoy. Bootstrap 5, the final stage in JQuery's demise? Let's take a quick look at some history.

This week, we're going to talk about the Web, its evolution, why it's become a mess and how to breathe again? If you're a company passing through and don't have time to read everything, here's a simple question: Are you Facebook? No ? Then why use the same methods and tools as a company with unlimited resources? For those who want to go further, we continue. The 1990s, the birth of the Intern...

Hello? How are you? Once again this week, we're going to talk about blockchain, but this time from a more dev point of view than the other times. Did you know that it's possible to develop on blockchain? Let's talk about it. Is a decentralized application (dApp) completely decentralized? As I write these lines, there are points of centralization in these applications, in fact it's relatively simple to understand "why? "These dApps run in a browser, but a browser only recognizes a fe...

Hello hello hello, Today, we're going to talk about my latest little adventure: enabling a 142-year-old company to accept cryptocurrencies. Setting the scene I've been working with Les Frères Marchand, for over a year now, at first we made a website together (it was Ludo Dev CMS's second instance), then we got the urge to create an online cheese shop together, which has been online since September 2021.

Hey there. How are you? Good, not too cold? so much the better! This week's article is for my fellow developers, and we're going to talk about search ... but real search! I often see MYSQL used as a search engine ... It's a fact! In the projects I've worked on, I've often seen this database management system (or MariaDB or Postgresql) used as a search engine, with things like "where my_attribute LIKES '%blabla%". And this is a very bad practice... What's the real use of a relational...

The what? What's this now? No, I'm sure you've already heard of it. Double authentication, often referred to under the acronym 2FA (for 2 Factors Authentication), is the principle of requiring 2 proofs of identity from a user to connect to a site, app or service. So here's a scoop: you've all used this before, and for a very long time. And yes, when you withdraw money from a cash dispenser (or make a contact payment with your bank card), it's 2FA. You use your card itself, with its number a...

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...

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...
