Come on, this week I'm making enemies! Here we go! Since the beginning of the crisis, we've been seeing "Get a website and increase your visibility" all over the place. Watch out! Hold on to your hats, a huge "scoop" is coming: a site costing just a few euros a month won't bring you ... ANYTHING. What's that? What do you mean you knew? Ah yes, nothing worthwhile in life is easy to achieve... that's true. What's a website for? Let's say you had your "ma-super-boutique.com" website made,...

Oh no, did he say hacker, like too dark, behind black screens and all? Actually, no, in people's minds, a "hacker" is malicious and does some pretty uncool stuff, but actually, no. Hackers are already divided into "white hats" and "black hats", the former being harmless, while the latter are not so nice. This week, we're going to talk about the "hacker spirit". Of course, that's my own definition, and others will have other visions? My definition of the hacker spirit A hack is a "d...

Hey there folks 😁. Thanks for clicking on this article, shall we dive back into technical stuff? Are you up for it? In any case, I hope you'll enjoy it. So, how are you doing? I'm in great shape! You know Caddy, it's a modern web server, written in Go (yes yes, that compiled language that generates static binaries...). Well today, we're going to tinker with its PHP wrapper, FrankenPHP. By the way, just a little info, the fact that FrankenPHP uses Caddy gives us access to...

Sharing resources is at the heart of the Internet, and social networking buttons can be found on all kinds of sites, making it easy to share content so that others can enjoy it. On Android, this has been possible for some time, but on IOS and macOS it's only been available since version 12.1 of Safari. This article will be very brief, showing how to use this API. window.navigator.share This is the name of the function for sharing via the native window of the operating system, iOS or Andro...

Like any dev, I sometimes want to test small pieces of code, make an example landing page to test a service or API... In short, there are many cases where you just want to try something out, without it being a full-fledged project. To do this, of course, we run our development environment on our own machine, "locally". Let the world benefit from our local project Okay, that's all well and good, but what if we need to access this local code from the outside? And yes, it can happen...

Yes, I'm back this week... Did you miss me? No, well ... ? Another thorny subject this week, I'm often asked: "Hey, do you know a free web host? How do you make a site for free? ... etc." So here I'm going to explain why what we think is free isn't, and more importantly, why we think it is. Everything on the Internet is free - where does that come from? The Internet is a medium, and like many media before it, its business model is based on advertising, often aimed at individuals (there'...

For once, I'm not going to talk purely about web development, but rather about the digital lifestyle? A few years ago, there was a lot of talk about online banking. I must admit that I fell for it at the time (and following a lot of advice too, because marketing isn't everything?) and created an account with N26. The conclusion? I still use it as a secondary account today. Online banking VS traditional banking Tech people understand each other when it comes to getting things done...

Hi over here 🙂, thank you for clicking on my article 😁. Today, for once, we're going to talk about a very controversial subject in the world of web development: Wordpress... Often scoffed at, Wordpress is nonetheless a must-have, it grew up with the web, Korben 's blog for example, it's a Wordpress 😛 (did you know that?) But this little guy has evolved, and that's why I'm featuring him in this week's article... In fact, I've used it to create the landing page f...

Hello and thank you for clicking on this article! Some time ago I told you about my nuclear disaster, the super adventure of a server that suddenly shuts down and gives no sign of life. Recently I received an email from my service provider saying "Please note that your Ubuntu version will soon no longer be supported. You should upgrade to 22.04 minimum". Well, even if this email seems nicer, I still had a feeling of déjà vu of my server getting lost in the cosmic uni...

How are you? Last week, the "Ludo Dev E-Shop" explanatory page was released. On this page, it's explained that the emphasis has been placed on the user experience, and that everything has been done to try and keep the experience as simple as possible. Behind this interface, there's a lot of technology (full automation), but is this technology alone enough? In this week's article, we're going to talk about the user experience, and how to make it a pleasant one. For this, I'm going to use t...
