Working on Javascript... from end to end

It has been a long time now that I didn't post anything to this blog...
My last discoveries are around Javascript and how to use it with Node.js + Express + Mongoose + MongoDB.

Quite impressing to be able to do a REST API in some minutes which opens great capabilities.
My next step will be to call this API from a Javascript Client based on DurandalJS.
So a full Javascript stack, from end to end.

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 !

L'homme de l'année en automobile : Elon Musk, PDG de Tesla

Depuis "20 Minutes" : l'homme de l'année en automobile : Elon Musk, PDG de Tesla

Orange signe avec Tesla pour accélérer dans la voiture connectée

Ce deal confirme le virage pris par Tesla en direction de la voiture de demain: électrique, connectée (cf. le précédent article de ce même blog Tesla's most disruptive product).

Sans doute un bon deal pour Orange, souvent en tête dans ce type de partenariat (pour mémoire, il était le distributeur exclusif de l'iPhone à sa sortie...).

Internet of thing : use of data to analyze earthquakes effect

In the following article from Postcapes, you have a preview of what could be the use of big bunch of data uploaded from Jawbone connected devices .

This gave me a fool idea. Imagine that we use such connected devices massively on wild animals. This may allow to track their moves, which could be quite useful to study wildlife evolution and potential disorders.

There is a well-known urban legend that animals have the ability to anticipate earthquakes or tsunami (see article from National Geographic). Such devices may potentially confirm or infirm this theory. In any case, it could be interesting to check...

The Messy Art of UX Sketching

From Smashing magazine, a great sample of how to design user experience using drawing layers.

I personally use a lot of sketches to express myself, collaborate or even search ideas.

This article is quite interesting as it propose a method for better sketches. I will certainly try to use it soon, but need to buy a ruler first...

A new partnership between iOS and IBM targeting enterprises

This is a brilliant evidence that Apple now has taken seriously the professional market which was not the case before.

This partnership with IBM is a way to marry with a company which is not a direct concurrent so far, but has a very good and long reputation with professionals.
