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...

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 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...

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 ?, This week, we're going to talk about business servers... (more of a web server, actually).

Enterprise and servers As technology enthusiasts/developers, we want to play with the latest toys, download the latest Debian for testing, or install a web server on a Raspberry Pi. But once we ge...

Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article! 😊 I've already told you about the e-commerce framework based on Symfony called Sylius.

All that was great — I was showing you how to add some interesting features to increase conversions and improve user experience. But recently, Sylius moved to version 2.0 🎉 So I thought: "hey, it would be interesting to talk a...

Level: Confirmed beginner

What is a slash? Let's start by explaining what a slash is. A slash is simply the slash found in Internet addresses, which is simply "/". It's also found in file paths on Unix-based operating systems (such as macOS) or Linux (such as Ubuntu). On Windows, the convention is for file paths to use backslashes, i.e. the same slash, but the other way round. A little history. In the past, putting a slash in Internet addresses made it possible to differentiate a "file" from a "folder".I use qu...

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...
