It's hot out there, ah yes, but no, that's not the topic of the day ... are you okay? This week we're back to the notion of "software as a service", or to put it more "stylishly" (or not), "Software as a Service" abbreviated as "SaaS". When Microsoft announced Windows 10, they said "this will be the latest version of Windows, it will be a SaaS" ... OK well, what about the upcoming arrival of Windows 11? ????. What? I'm looking for the little beast? I don't know what you're talking about ......

Ah Docker! I've been hearing about it for years, but like many people (I think) I hadn't yet taken the plunge. I'd read several articles on this technology, and even looked at the official documentation to try and tweak a few things, but it was still too vague for me. First of all, what is Docker? It's (almost) magic in the sense that you don't need to worry about your server configuration, your OS or your version of PHP, Node, React ... in short. You just code on your machine, and miracu...

Hello over here 🙂, Thank you for clicking on this article, I hope as always you enjoy it 😁.
