Last time, I told you about CI/CD right here I don't know if you thought it was cool, but today we're going to talk about Git itself. "You've already explained to us, though, that it's meant to deploy our code online, is there anything else?" Yes, CI/CD is only part of what Git can be used for. Indeed, its primary use is versioning. Behind this rather barbaric name lies something that is both very useful and almost magical. Yes, it is. "What's this guy trying to sell us now? Noth...

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...

Following my first article, I was now able to run a development environment to create Symfony projects. Okay, that was all well and good, but for the moment it was only running locally on my MacBook, and that's no way to host a site. Since shared servers are already a hell of a thing to configure for a simple site, I didn't dare imagine running Docker on them. So I opted for a dedicated server from Scaleway and once I'd placed the order, I installed Docker on Ubuntu 20.04. I organize...

Like any dev, I sometimes want to test small pieces of code, make an example landing page to test a service or API... In short, there are many cases where you just want to try something out, without it being a full-fledged project. To do this, of course, we run our development environment on our own machine, "locally". Let the world benefit from our local project Okay, that's all well and good, but what if we need to access this local code from the outside? And yes, it can happen...

New week, new article, how are you? Well, the title isn't crazy, we agree, but SEO and all that ... You're present on social networks, you have subscribers, relations ... etc. (in short, there are people in your network!), but when you publish something, your publication reaches few people ... so you ask yourself "But WHY? "I'd say, "That's just the way it is, life's unfair", but that'd be pointless and would evade the question.... Social networks are private companies I think it's wort...

For once, I'm not going to talk purely about web development, but rather about the digital lifestyle? A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about online banking. I must admit that I fell for it at the time (and following a lot of advice too, because marketing isn't everything?) and created an account with N26. The conclusion? I still use it as a secondary account today. Online banking VS traditional banking Tech people understand each other when it comes to getting things done...

New week, new article! How are you? The wife? The kids? The goldfish? (is the goldfish important?) This week we're going to try and figure out what the padlock in your browser's address bar means, so yes on this site there is one (there, I've just saved you the trouble of looking up to check). Naaaaaa but don't go away, it's an interesting subject! promise?. Before you start I'm redirecting you to the "asymmetric encryption" paragraph of my article on ransomware, because there's no p...

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'...

Hi little wolves 🙂 (yep, it's the heat, it makes me cringe... deso), Thank you for clicking on my article 😁, as usual we'll try to do quality and I hope you'll like it.... This week, we're going to talk about signed exchanges, it's a techno that's still little known and yet I find it super interesting, so we're going to share it all with you! Briefly, what are signed exchanges? Signed exchanges are a technology proposed by Google that allows you to cache your pages a...

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...
