My schedule for Google I/O 2014

This year Google I/O will be about DDD, have you read the blue book ? Oh wait, sorry, it’s not about Domain Driven Design but Design, Develop, Distribute. Interesting to see that Google choose to replace the more common “Run” theme with a Distribute one. It feels like they are saying don’t worry anymore about how you will run your application, just use our cloud. But instead think how you will Distribute your mobile application… on google store of course.

We can expect a lot of announcements and sessions around Android. And a lot more, as you can see in the list of sessions I’m planning to attend. Can’t wait to learn more about Docker, Polymer, DevOps and the Google cloud platform !

Je me promène

10 ans

Il y a 10 ans, le 3 avril 2004 j’ouvrais ce blog. Google n’était encore qu’un moteur de recherche performant… Amazon qu’un libraire, Face… FaceQuoi ?? Les téléphones n’étaient pas smart et Nokia dominait le marché.

Il y a 10 ans Google lançait Gmail, un 1ere Avril, 1 Go de stockage gratuit, une application web aussi réactive qu’un client lourd, la bonne blague… Eh oui Ajax n’était encore qu’une marque de détergent. Subversion était un outil acceptable pour gérer les sources, Flex une solution d’avenir, Struts était en version 1 tout comme Spring, javascript était tout juste bon à ouvrir des pop-ups. Chrome n’existait pas, IE6 s’était imposé face à Netscape.

Il y a 10 ans la France votait la Loi pour la confiance dans l’économie numérique et aujourd’hui il faut écrire un rapport pour mettre en valeur les développeurs alors qu’il y a longtemps que le reste du monde a compris que le logiciel dévore le monde…

Depuis 10 ans ce ne sont pas les sujets qui manquent, je vais profiter de cet anniversaire pour ranimer ce blog, rendez-vous dans 10 ans.

Des tweets et des plus n°22 – Et ça sert à quoi ?

La vérité sur le chiffrage en Sociétés de Services en Logiciels Libres : “Nous aimons coder. Coder ne nous coûte pas car c’est notre plaisir. D’ailleurs, nous codons gratuitement une bonne partie de notre temps (dans le cadre de nos contributions open sources). Le reste de notre travail, en revanche, nous coûte.”

Stop Using Story Points : “Like researchers of fast food, we now know that the Agile Happy Meal contains unnatural ingredients that decrease agility and cause process indigestion.”

What’s my IT strategy? : “Take a company’s IT strategy […] Now remove XXX […] What is left, is the IT strategy”

Java feature applicatbility : “I group Java features in three categories: day to day, occasionally and never (frameworks and libraries only). The rule is simple: if you find yourself using given feature more often then suggested, you are probably over-engineering”

Des tweets et des plus n°21 – Good Cheap Fast, pick two

The Most Important Question : “Everything involves trade-offs, where benefits must be weighed against their associated costs. Evaluating those trade-offs and choosing according to the needs of the customer is a key responsibility of an architect.”

Learnable programming : “A programming system has two parts. The environment is installed in on the computer, and the language is installed in the programmer’s head.”

Some things I’ve learnt about programming: “When writing code it’s sometimes tempting to try stuff to see what works and get a program working without truly understanding what’s happening.”

Dear “API providers”: “I just want the data on your website in a machine readable format. XML, JSON, RDF, CSV, YAML, I don’t particularly give a fuck.”

Des tweets et des plus n°20 – The road to hell

OAuth 2.0 and the Road to Hell: “At the core of the problem is the strong and unbridgeable conflict between the web and the enterprise worlds”

Journey Through The JavaScript MVC Jungle: I want a javascrit framework…

Agile France : Le combat des chefs : avec Bougetépostix et Testotomatix… tout un programme.

Le changement, c’est (bientôt) maintenant: “nos organisations privées ou publiques, notamment tertiaires, sont orientées vers leur maintien, plus que vers le service à leurs usagers”
