Today we're going to be talking about one of the most important topics on the web, yet one that is all too often overlooked by many. That subject is Responsive Design. "What's this thing you're doing? Just another gimmick to look good? To look good, yes, but it's anything but a gimmick? It's about adapting the size of your website to all screen formats. From a smartphone to a TV or even an overhead projector. Why is this important? Which device do you think is most often used to acce...

Hello, hello, How are things around here? Not too cold? This week, we're diving back into the world of Symfony with a short article on bundles. We're going to take a look at the bundles you need to know when you're a Symfony developer. The idea here is to bring together the bundles I see and use most often in my projects. Here, we won't really be talking about bundles that are part of the Symfony "core", such as the "DoctrineMigrationbundle", which you'll find everywhere. Are you read...

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 and welcome to a new world! Well, almost. You couldn't miss it, today everyone's talking about AI, Artificial Intelligence and super-smart robots that do everything for us. < So I thought, this might be a good opportunity to set the record straight on the subject. What is AI? We're talking about artificial intelligence, but that in itself is already shorthand for a machine learning model. In other words, the "computer", i.e. a set of servers, will be able to deduce things by pr...

Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on this article 🙂 Today I'm going to tell you something dramatic: On a beautiful spring afternoon, you're working on your server via your favorite terminal and all of a sudden boom. Nothing responds. You try to open the web sites you're managing, and nothing happens. It just keeps going until the browser times out. 🤦‍♂️ This is exactly what happened to me a few days ago, and I wouldn't recommend this experience...

I think you'll have gathered by now that on this blog we're particularly fond of Symfony. 😛 The robustness and versatility of this framework (I should almost say ecosystem, by the way), we've already talked about here Well, I suppose for this time that the principle I'm going to present also exists in other frameworks, but again, it's really simple to use in Symfony. What's a workflow? This principle is workflow. If you're used to working in an English-speaking context, a workf...
