Working on Javascript... from end to end

It has been a long time now that I didn't post anything to this blog...

I think I will begin to like this language by the way...

Once my code will be a bit advanced, I will put it on GitHub for those interrested. Keep in touch, then !

First glance about Parse makes it very promising. It seems that Facebook and more recently Apple already understood it.

Simple to use and quite good result.
