Yes, I'm back this week... Did you miss me? No, well ... ? Another thorny subject this week, I'm often asked: "Hey, do you know a free web host? How do you make a site for free? ... etc." So here I'm going to explain why what we think is free isn't, and more importantly, why we think it is. Everything on the Internet is free - where does that come from? The Internet is a medium, and like many media before it, its business model is based on advertising, often aimed at individuals (there'...

Ah, updates! You must see dozens of them every day. It's time-consuming, it's inconvenient, if they're launched when you're busy (hello Windows?). But then... Yes. But it's important. An update is never done by chance, and its main purpose is to correct bugs and, above all, security flaws. "What do you mean? You're developers and you don't code properly? " It's a little more complicated than that. Indeed, even if the error remains human, flaws generally occur AFTER a product has bee...

Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article 🙂 Today I'm going to tell you something dramatic: On a beautiful spring afternoon, you're working on your server via your favorite terminal and all of a sudden boom. Nothing responds. You try to open the web sites you're managing, and nothing happens. It just keeps going until the browser times out. 🤦♂️ This is exactly what happened to me a few days ago, and I wouldn't recommend this experience...

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...

Today, I've chosen a subject that is sometimes neglected by developers, but is nonetheless very practical: testing. No, I'm not talking about testing your code before sending it to production by pressing F5 to see if everything works. 😛 I'm talking about automated tests that you write following the logic of an algorithm to create practical cases that can be launched at different times. Imagine you have an e-commerce site and you want to test that a product is actually added to...

Hello there! Today's article is going to be quite short, but practical. In my little life as a freelance developer, I have to monitor my customers' applications and websites to make sure they're up and running, including the site you're currently on.... So I don't miss a single incident, the device that alerts me if there's the slightest problem with one of the services I manage is on my wrist... and yes, it's the Apple Watch. Basically, I'm someone who doesn't like notifications; they t...

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...

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...

Hello over here 🙂, Thank you for clicking on this article, I hope as always you enjoy it 😁. This week, we're going to talk about a hot topic, well hot ... when I see the heated debates on LinkedIn that I never take part in, because I find it a debate that is a bit pointless. And yes, I'm talking about telecommuting, I don't really understand all the fuss about this practice, but hey, why not, today I'm going to give a bit of my vision of the thing and above all: ho...

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...
