Founder of Les-Tilleuls.coop (worker-owned cooperative). Creator of API Platform, Mercure.rocks, Vulcain.rocks and of some Symfony components.
We recently introduced the AssetMapper component and Symfony UX to make the most of the web platform and reduce the amount of JavaScript code to the absolute minimum. This “radically simple” approach is generally the most efficient, and should be the go-to method for most new Symfony applications. However, API-based, JavaScript-heavy applications are still inevitable…
Introduction For 32 years now, the venerable HTTP protocol has been at the heart of the Web. This protocol enables “resources” (anything that can be named can be a resource, but these are often documents) to be retrieved from a server using their unique identifier: their URL. Since 1991, the Web has exploded in popularity,…

I also introduced the shiny and new Mercure website (designed by Laury S.)! A special thanks to Eric Comellas who jumped on stage to explain how iGraal uses Mercure on a…
Here is the slide deck I presented during API Days SF 2019: Mercure is a protocol allowing to push data updates to web browsers and other HTTP clients in a convenient, fast, reliable and battery-efficient way. It is especially useful to publish real-time updates of resources served through web APIs, to reactive web and mobile…
Watch the video (in French)! Thanks to the new capabilities of the web platform (web components, Progressive Web Apps…) and the rise of modern JS libraries (Vue, React, Angular) almost all modern Symfony applications must leverage the frontend ecosystem. Symfony 4 embed many gems that make it easy to integrate modern JavaScript within the framework,…
