Heartbreaker Fashion
With clothing inspired by ’50s and ’60s fashion, pin-up girls and vintage culture, Heartbreaker’s design nicely fits the company’s profile, with its pastels and retro textures. Good use of dotted and dashed borders, which separate the various elements rather delicately. Notice how well the designers keep the vintage theme across the product and category pages, with nice attention to detail for the credit card icons in the footer.

On est pour ou on est contre ? contre qui ? contre quoi ? pour Qui ? pour Quoi ?

Beaucoup de visages tachetés de frustrations et de colères sortent de partout presque et de nulle part aussi, récitants des restrictions et des obligations sans te laisser le temps de juger, de te questionner, bien sure tout cela part d’un quelqu’un a dit quelque choses l’autre jour autour d’un café ou d’un minable thé, nous les bloggeurs notre seul façon de s’exprimer c’est d’écrire.

Joomla Developer’s Toolbox

Joomla is a popular free and open-source content management system (CMS) that can be used to power all kinds of websites. After we published developer’s toolboxes for a variety of other CMS’, many readers requested a collection of resources for Joomla users and developers, so here it is. Joomla grew out of theMambo CMS and has since built a large and loyal group of users, much like the other popular open-source options. What this means for users and developers is that there is a wealth of information and resources available, and in this post we’ll take a look at many of the best.

• WordPress Developer’s Toolbox
• Drupal Developer’s Toolbox
• ExpressionEngine Developer’s Toolbox
• Textpattern Developer’s Toolbox
• Movable Type Developer’s Toolbox

Web Design In The Arab World

Sand, magic carpets, Islamic art, Mecca, turban, luxury, camels, incense, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, arabesque art and cous cous are just a few of the images that spring to mind when thinking Arab world. But there is actually a misconception of what is the ‘Arab world’. Most often the ‘Arab world’ is thought of as solely the Middle East. The Middle East however is only the geographical area defined by the lands between Egypt and south-west Asia. The Arab world is much much larger. The geographical expanse of the Arab world reaches far wider when it is correctly defined by countries which are Arabic speaking.

That is to say, the Arabic language is the defining element of the ‘Arab world’. In total, the Arab world includes 25 countries and territories with a combined population of more than 358 million. This expanse stretches from the west coast of northern Africa (Mauritania, Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria etc) across to Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East.

The history of this expansive region is so deep that it is foolhardy to skim over how the past has influenced art and hence inspired, to a degree, modern web design. For example, Islam, the predominant religion of the Arab world, laid the ground stones for Islamic Art. One of the major reasons that Islamic art is rich in patterns and ‘arabesque’ repetition of forms such as geometrical floral designs is because it is feared by many Muslims that the depiction of the human form is idolatry and thereby a sin against Allah, forbidden in the Qur’an.

This denial of figurative art made way for powerful Arabic calligraphy and abstract depictions. Major outlets for artistic expression can be found in architecture, Arabic scripts, paintings and ceramics where intricate patterns adorn.

Flamenco as a Spanish art

What is Flamenco?

Flamenco is a genuine Spanish art, and to be more exact a genuine Southern Spanish art.

It exists in three forms: Cante, the song, Baile, the dance, and Guitarra, guitar playing.

Gipsies are very often named as the fathers of Flamenco, and at least it can be taken for certain that they played an important part in its creation. But also the popular songs and dances of Andalusia have influenced early Flamenco considerably.

Certainly there were other influences, too, as it is no surprise in a country that has been dominated by most diverse cultures and civilizations during its different historical epochs. There were the legendary Tartessos, and seven centuries of Muslim occupation hardly could have passed without leaving traces. All that, directly or indirectly, influenced Flamenco.

C’est quoi le cloud computing ?

Le cloud computing c’est quoi ?

Voilà, on en entend parler de partout, et la plupart des gens ont une vague idée sans pouvoir vraiment le définir. Alors, un première recherche sur un moteur de recherche vous donnera une piste sur Wikipedia, ici :
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informatique_dans_les_nuages

Comme on peut le lire, c’est traduit par “informatique dans les nuages”.
(je trouve le nom en Français plutôt ridicule!)

En réalité, de qoi s’agit il ?
