    Le Savoir

    Je vous présente un nouveau petit site que j’ai créé en React.js, surtout pour pratiquer mes “skills” en développement, autant au niveau look que fonctionnalitées. J’ai tenté de reproduire, “from scratch”, le look du site du journal “Le Devoir”, donc oui c’est normal que vous y voyez des ressemblances évidentes 🙂 https://toogreen.ca/lesavoir/ Tant qu’à y mettre du contenu, j’ai cru bon y mettre des liens de vrais sites crédibles et bien connus (bref, pas de fake news!!) mais avec une twist un peu plus positive par rapport à la COVID-19. Je trouve qu’il y a beaucoup de trop de peur…

    New web version of my CV/Resume up!

    As you may (or may not) know, I’m currently open to any work opportunities, therefore I worked on the “web” version of my CV quite a bit over the weekend. I’ve converted the static HTML version of it to a way better version using the React.js framework. This allowed me to make it bilingual by adding the French content but with built-in functionalities allowing the viewer to change language without needing to reload the page. That’s right, you can now toggle back and forth as you wish no matter where you are in the page! Anyway just thought I would…

    My first React.js App!

    Yes, it’s just a very silly Meme Generator. Pretty simple stuff, but satisfying nonetheless to have a completed, working app that I entirely built myself (with the help of a tutorial, I will admit). In any case, here it is, go ahead and play around with it! https://toogreen.ca/meme/

    Run a Web Server from Any Folder on Your Mac!

    I just discovered this really simple hack which is both a time and life saver if you want to quickly test simple websites on your machine. From any folder (a GIT folder for example where your code is), you simply need to run this simple Python command: UPDATE! Since Python 3, it has now changed to this: As you may have guessed, this will start a web server on port 8000. So from your browser, now all you need to do is go to http://localhost:8000 and, magic, you can now see the website you’re working on. To make it faster…

    Tired of idiots still using Internet Explorer 11 or lower?

    Well me too. The latest website I coded uses many advanced CSS3 elements and honestly, I can’t bother anymore with old ass browsers and people still using them. Therefore here’s a piece of JavaScript code you can insert on your site if you want to alert these folks to get with the times. Of course you can go ahead and change the text to whatever you like. It works beautifully for me. Anyone visiting my website with IE 11 or lower will get this message. Here’s what it looks like when people try to open your page under IE 11…

    Stumbled upon this old game I made to teach my students how to use Scratch

    I had the strange idea to Google myself and found this really old game I had made when I was teaching primary school students how to use Scratch to code. Good memories! Kind of a fun, and easy game to make. Feel free to share or use to teach your kids! 🙂 Pro-tip: Push the “Up” arrow to throw the ball! 😉 Here is the link to the project on MIT’s website where you can find the source code as well: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1067865/
