What's Trello ?

Trello is a really nice application to manage about everything you want. The GUI is really cool and simple to use, we are actually testing it in my company and we have a very good first feeling. If you want to discover more, don't hesitate to watch the presentation video and give it a try at Trello website.

Notification system

Trello provides a very nice notification system, instead of spamming you with mail everytimes something happens, it detects your activity on the site and sends you mail only when you're offline / idle. The only thing I miss is the hability to see if I have missed notification in my pinned tab. I remembered of a good userscript for GMail allowing to display the number of unread emails. As I have no experience in GreaseMonkey scripts, I used the previous one as a learning base and did a script allowing to see the number of missed notification (from 1 to 9, and displaying a + if it exceeds 9).
You can see it in action in the blog post picture next to GMail pinned tab in Chrome.

You can download it on userscripts or view the source on my github repository.

Developing for Android is really fun, as you have probably noticed if you want to have a wide user base you will have to give your application for free on the Android Market. From there, you have different way to monetize your application, you can limit features and unlock them in a payed version, display ads in free version and provide a way to disable ads (in-app purchase for example). In this article I will explain how to detect ad blocking in your applications.

Généralité

Qu'est ce qu'un test unitaire

D'après Wikipédia :

En programmation informatique, le test unitaire est un procédé permettant de s'assurer du fonctionnement correct d'une partie déterminée d'un logiciel ou d'une portion d'un programme (appelée « unité » ou « module »). On écrit un test pour confronter une réalisation à sa spécification.

Ils consistent en liste de tests à valider afin d'être conforme à la documentation fonctionnelle. Ces tests doivent être exécutés le plus souvent possible au cours de la réalisation, en effet ils permettent en autre de mettre en évidence toutes régression dans le processus de développement.

I am one of the lucky guys getting this hyped discontinued tablet from HP at the lowest price. I'll sum up here few things I did on it.

First impressions

I am an iPad owner for almost a year now, so I have my habits and I now know that tablets are mainly useful for consuming content (producing content is not really convenient when you have to use the virtual keyboard). The Touchpad is really what you expect from a tablet, full web consuming, multitasking, flash support, at a really decent speed.
