When I started programming with C++ exactly 28 years ago, it was with Borland C++ 2.0 on MS-DOS. Then I went to the Windows 3.0 version, had a quick side step with Visual Basic until 2001 when I was back with C++ on Windows 2000 running Visual Studio 6. Then I moved to c#/.NET for a … Continue reading Sharing cross platform C++ code between the mobile and the cloud: Introduction
A tale about using Open Source Software
I'm working on a project for one of my client that will require us to share native C++ code between iOS and Android then consume this code in React Native. A quick google search led to several toolkits and samples on GitHub. This is great, I'll have a starting point to play. I have forked two … Continue reading A tale about using Open Source Software
Creativity vs Performance
Did you ever think about how your creativity might be shadowed by the performance requirements you- or your management -put on your yourself ? You've got to achieve more with less... I always loved solving problems, but almost one year ago I reached a point where my cognitive load was too high. Fortunately for me, … Continue reading Creativity vs Performance

Playing with AWS Cognito in ReactXP
Update Wednesday 13 December 2017: Added a missing step about Babel ES2015 presets. I'm experiencing with Amazon Cognito for one of my customer. Because we've chosen ReactXP to build cross platform client apps- and AWS as our cloud platform, we have to integrate various AWS SDKs. Following are the steps required to integrate the Cognito … Continue reading Playing with AWS Cognito in ReactXP

Bringing the mobile apps to the web
I'm in the process of evaluating Microsoft's ReactXP for one of my customer. The promise is to share most of the code of a new development between the web, iOS and Android. But beyond that, it is to be able to scale apps and be more productive while increasing quality. To learn more, I encourage … Continue reading Bringing the mobile apps to the web
Yes the cloud is transient, evanescent, inconstant.
The last couple of years have been challenging on a personal level. Fortunately, I love solving problems. I found peace with the help of a psychologist (To understand why I was suffering), the practice of yoga and more importantly, a course of MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) to learn how to deal with my emotions. … Continue reading Yes the cloud is transient, evanescent, inconstant.
The ability to scale…or not
Yesterday evening, OCS City (Orange Cinema Series) was airing the latest episode of Game Of Thrones season 7. I watched it earlier in the afternoon on OCS Go (The replay service) without any trouble. On the evening we decided to watch another movie on the same replay service. It worked well until it failed on … Continue reading The ability to scale…or not
The urge to use a distributed tracing system
Where did this bike go ? Looking back at the early days of an on premises distributed logging system of our own, I'm glad that cloud providers have something to offer in this space. This is so much important to be able to pinpoint the reason of an outage in minutes rather than in days. … Continue reading The urge to use a distributed tracing system
