- The weird state of mobile web apps There are countless of articles debating going native or HTML5 for your next mobile app. But with Linkedin recently deciding to going back to native I am really starting to ask myself if HTML5 is still part of the equation for mobile apps at the current moment. Let’s look at a small retrospective & see […]
- Tips for getting started with Vagrant, dev environments evolved I have been using xampp for my local lamp stack for ages. It works well, but that’s definitely nothing like my live production server. Enter Vagrant, “easily” reproducible dev stacks. Wouldn’t it be perfect if you could just give a recipe to your new developers and boom, their app environment is ready, they can get […]

- Going to war, web developer style There is bad customer services everywhere, but nothing quite compares to The Brick for me. Here in Quebec we get raped by Telecom companies on cellphone plans and internet, we pay much more for less, and yet, today I am really more pissed off at The Brick. I am going to spare you the details […]
- A front-end developer journey into symfony.. I love doing HTML/CSS/Javacscript, but what happens when you want to create a project that WordPress can’t handle? Beside finding someone who can do it I mean.. Well you have to learn new stuff and this is how I immersed myself in more complex back-end work. Making a framework choice Where do I start? like […]
