Web Resources #1

Also available in: Français

I often see a lot of very interesting resources on my networks, but I don’t have time enought to test each. Sometimes, I use this blog to make a review of a particular tool, but it’s only when I have time to do so. I therefore propose to you a list of links that caught my attention.

I didn’t plan to post this type of post every week. It will depend on my readings, and on the free time I have. (which is actually inversely proportional to my budy time :p)

Most of resources I will publish, I publish them on my Twitter account regularly.
