Hello there, This week's article comes from an observation I made recently. Before, in Chrome, when you visited a site that offered OpenSearch, it automatically added it to the browser's search engines, so all you had to do was type "a keyword" + space and start searching directly from the browser's omnibox.

Hello over here 🙂, Thank you so much for clicking on this article 😁. On the last post, I told you it smelled like spring, but now it's cooled off severely 😅. Ah yes, it's true we're still not here to talk weather... I'm sorry (well, I think.). This week, we're going to play with CSS and completely break Twig, you'll see it's fun, well, it's a bit "not very clean" as a method, but hey, on this blog, I tell you all about it.

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...

Hello there, This week we're going to be talking about image formats. In fact, this article follows on from my article on CSS, and we're going to be talking about optimizing sits, in this case images. First of all, we'll review the older image formats, find out how to optimize them and finally talk about WEBP. We'll even see how it's possible to have a site or application that uses this format automatically, as is the case on the site you're currently visiting. Other image formats We'...

Hello there, This week we're going to talk about what makes a good developer, but not in the way you might think. The idea for this article comes from the discussions I have with my customers and why they enjoy working with me. This article also comes from the fact that, last weekend, I was taking a look at the state of the infrastructure on which this site (and the customers) are hosted, and in two years a lot has happened.... Are you ready? Then let's get started. What this artic...

Hello, hello? Have you ever watched a child playing with "Legos"?

What if I told you that playing with Legos is a bit like our topic for today... Welcome to the concept of object-oriented programming (OOP)! It may sound like an obscure concept, a maze of jargon designed to confuse, but fear not, it will! We're about to emba...
