This week's article is all about developers, yes ... there's something for everyone. How are you? Whit Monday and all that ... yeah well, that's no reason to get up and get to work. What's a slug? For the guys at the back, we'll remind you what a slug is. It's a "string" normalized so that it can be inserted into a URL, for example on the article you're reading in your address bar there's no "index.php?article=49" because well .... it's ugly (if it's ugly, that's all.), a nice URL that l...

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...

Hey there! 🙂 To read this article, you use a software, this software is so present in your life that now, for you it seems "part of the scenery". I'm talking, of course, about your browser 😛. Over the last ten years, we're not going to lie to ourselves, there's been one all-category champion who's been raking in all the market share, well, especially on the "desktop", I'm talking of course about Google Chrome. On mobile, this is less true, with Apple forcing the use of...

This text was on the home page of the site, but after updating it I decided to move it to the blog? 1998 - Discovering computers At elementary school, I discovered computers. At the time, Windows 95 was the star product, and I fell in love with these machines. A teacher, noticing this growing passion, decided to encourage it by giving me a computer; it was a Compaq, with a 486 processor and 4 MB RAM. At the same time, I got an Amstrad CPC equipped with BASIC, which marked the beginning of...

Good morning, So we're starting to enjoy the sun again? You are so right! But what about work? This week, we're going to talk about the Web, its evolution, why it's become a mess and how to breathe again? If you're a company passing through and don't have time to read everything, here's a simple question: Are you Facebook? No ? Then why use the same methods and tools as a company with unlimited resources? For those who want to go further, we continue. The 1990s, the birth of the Intern...

So, shall we talk a little more about these little SaaS and their history? Let's get started! Creati...

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. Anyway, this week, we're making art...
