Google recently introduced Google Chrome Frame, an early-stage plugin for Internet Explorer which allows rendering through the Chrome engine.
This will allow web developers to code using cutting-edge technologies AND to save (much) time spent finding Internet Explorer workarounds, when such exist.
Only websites having the following meta tag will render through the Chrome engine, that way other websites “won’t break” as they say.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1" />

Working with a team requires some organisation. This is the first of a series of blogposts on the way get2future collaborates on projects with clients.
Backpack
Backpack is a web-based collaboration tool developed by the team at 37Signals. It helps us gather and share information on various topics, including design, code and projects. When working on projects that require client input, we use Basecamp. This tool will be covered in a future blogpost. Backpack is used for all the small bits and pieces that we need to share with each other: Photoshop templates, design inspiration, jQuery snippets, … are all shared within the team on backpack’s pages.
What’s a page?
A page is a blank canvas that let’s you organize any type of information. To-do lists, notes, files and images can be added to a page so everyone can use them. This is what a blank Backpack page looks like :

In these days of recession, you’re probably willing to cut some costs in your business, like your hosting costs for instance. Let’s take a look at GoEvolutive hosting solutions. Why are they different and what do they offer?
In most of hosting solutions, we’re talking about physical machines, real hardware, which can stop working anytime. In such case, you have two solutions:
- watch the clock and wait for the coolest technician to repair your server, while your website is down, losing potential clients
- go to the datacenter and do it yourself!
In both case: we hope you had your data backed-up!
With a GoEvo server, you have a 99,99% SLA on hardware plus a full back-up every day out of the box, no skills required.
