Read a free sample Buy the ebook Buy the paperback print book You're a developer who knows nothing to WPF. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using WPF and the MVVM pattern. Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during 15 years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in WPF, and will spend time only where appropriate. Plus this book is packed with exercises which build up into a full project: you develop a small e-commerce sample application. You’ll allow users to browse for products, and you’ll also create a back-end where users will be able to list and edit products. Read this book, and you can code your WPF application within a week.

Selected as a “Best Project” Many of the projects I work on remain internal company projects. However great they become I won’t showcase them here. But I also contribute to public projects. And guess what? One of these projects was selected as a “Best LIFE Environment Project” out of 113 projects. Harmonica During that project, my client Bruitparif together with Acoucité and Eurocities created several tools to assist decision-making concerning noise pollution. In other words, tools that are aimed at improving our well-being. Not only did they create a more human-friendly way to measure and report noise pollution (the Harmonica Index ), they also created a site that enables anyone to browse through the Harmonica index values for measurement sites throughout Europe. This site is open and anyone is welcome to contribute. Last but not least, the site shares feedback about noise reduction initiatives . Some parts of me inside Several high quality people worked on that project, and...

A new step in the right direction: the fresh Meteor 1.3 brings features needed for larger developments: adding integration testing, seamless NPM support (using React for Meteor development just becomes easier) and the modularity features from ES2015. Plus small improvements like better upgrade of iOS and Android applications. Or faster refresh when files are modified (this just made my Meteor productivity go from super high to extremely high). Even better: the Meteor guide is up to date, providing guidance for this release. Now Meteor productivity comes to an unprecedented level of support for larger applications. Using 1.3 in previous applications is as easy as "meteor update", and new projects are just a "meteor create" command-line away. A nice trick also: running meteor instances automatically download the 1.3 version in the background so the upgrade process is faster once you decide to go for it. Once again I'm gladly surprised by how much care the MDG...

Le succès aveuglant du Web ces dernières années repose notamment sur sa standardisation. La standardisation permet de s'assurer que personne ne sera dépendant d'un éditeur: ni les utilisateurs, ni les créateurs de contenu. C'est ce qui permet par exemple à un développeur de créer sous Linux une application qui fonctionnera sous iOS comme sous Edge. Pourtant, il y a toujours des éditeurs qui veulent rendre le Web propriétaire. L'enjeu est énorme, et on a vu de nombreuses tentatives dans le passé. Pour n'en citer que quelques unes, Microsoft avec IE6, Apple avec les applications iPhone, Google avec Chrome. Pour les développeurs, la tentation est grande de tomber dans le piège de la dé-standardisation. Ainsi, on voit quantité de développeurs Web qui voudraient que WebKit soit le seul moteur pour les navigateurs Web. Bien sûr, ils se disent que ça leur ferait moins de travail de vérification de leur code sur les différentes plateformes. Mais c'est un choix perd...

For a client's project, I recently selected Meteor . It promises a lot, like many frameworks, but the difference with other frameworks is that it holds to its promises. Basically put: Meteor is one of the most productive frameworks I ever tried . Meteor produces Web applications that run under Node.JS using MongoDB . And does it extremely well. It provides you with a command-line that makes most tasks easy and painless: create a project, use packages, and even serve it locally. There are many packages that allow to create CRUD applications quickly: MongoDB schemas, automatic forms creation for CRUD operations, automatic APIs for CRUD operations, client and server-side routing, authentication, themes, admin dashboards. Plus the documentation is extensive. What are the cons? Well, I can see two of them: Deployment can be harsh if you are self hosting. It's a steep learning curve. You can rapidly create your first application, but coding correctly means understanding a l...
