Des cadeaux de Noel Web 2.0

December 25, 2006 – 12:00 pm

Non content d’offrir un Wiki à XMLfr, j’ai récidivé en offrant un carnet Web à ma femme, Catherine.
Ce sera un carnet Web thématique, consacré à l’environnement et son premier billet couvre la condamnation de l’association Kokopelli, condamnée pour vendre des semences traditionnelles mais non inscrites sur une liste du catalogue officiel des plantes cultivées.

A couple of things we got wrong ten years ago

December 21, 2006 – 11:59 am

Professional Web 2.0 programming for real

December 1, 2006 – 12:58 pm

I’have received my personal copies of our Web 2.0 book and they look really good.
