Six ways to make people like you

Become genuinely interested in other people.

Smile.

Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.

Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

Talk in terms of the other person's interests.

Make the other person feel important ... and do it sincerely.

Quoted from "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.

Summary of 'Words are windows, Introduction to nonviolent communication' by Marshall Rosenberg

Summary of 'Words are windows, Introduction to nonviolent communication' by Marshall Rosenberg “Words are windows” is an introduction to non violent communication (abbreviated as NVC). Marshall Rosenberg presents in this book the process that allows us to communicate more serenely with others as well as with ourselves. This mode of communication allows us to become more and more caring, authentic, and empathic with others.

At the source of Non Violent Communication NVC has 4 four key components: Observation – specific facts/data, no evaluation/judgment Feeling – state how we feel (many failure modes here) Need – the need underlying this feeling Request – must be specific action to address need First we observe what is really happening in a given situatio...

Summary of 'Clean Architecture' by Robert C. Martin

Summary of 'Clean Architecture' by Robert C. Martin Uncle Bob, the well known author of Clean Code, is coming back to us with a new book called Clean Architecture which wants to take a larger view on how to create software. Even if Clean Code is one of the major book around OOP and code design (mainly by presenting the SOLID principles), I was not totally impressed by the book. Clean Architecture leaves me with the same feeling, even if it’s pushing the development world to do better, has some good stories and present robust principles to build software. The book is build around 34 chapters organised in chapters. Programming paradigm After some introduction, there is an overview of three paradigm of programming: structured programming which imposes discipline on direct transfer of control object oriented programming which imposes discipline on indirect transfer of control functional programming which imposes discipline upon assignment Uncle Bob tells us...

Hébergement d'un blog !

Bon déjà le site était affreusement lent et enfin tout est tombé depuis une semaine impossible de relancer le wordpress. 80% de chance que ca vienne du site en lui même mais qui à tout refaire (j'ai quand même les articles normalement c'est déjà une chance énorme), j'aimerais faire cette fois un choix efficace, robuste et rapide. Le prix n'est pas vraiment le problème (enfin jusqu'a 100 euros par an, j'ai pas encore 10 000 visiteurs par jour). Par contre, je veux quelque chose qui ne demande de perdre du temps sur la partie technique. Niveau site, je pense que le mieux est de rester sur du Wordpress donc je cherche un bon hebergeur pour du php/mysql ce qu'il y a de plus classique. Je suis ouvert à des propositions innovantes p...
