In this article, I'll recount the whole journey we, a dedicated team of professionals within the Buildit group of Wipro Digital, decided to tackle.
]]>This article is going to be the first of a series on PatternLab [PL], starting from the very basics and digging into much more detailed aspects of it.
]]>I worked with Atomic Design and the PatternLab tool on at least 3 major projects, most notably during my period at Sainsbury’s in introducing and creating from scratch the style guide for the now defunct Sainsbury’s Entertainment on Demand, helped the Groceries Online team in getting their own style guide sorted, and supervised as a technical advisor the initial creation of the global Sainsbury’s style guide, project Luna.
In this article, I’d like to highlight some of the problems we solved in using a pattern library, and more importantly, some of the problems I’ve encountered in the first of these projects, by creating a pattern library for a legacy project.
]]>Some good practices first, then methodologies and systems have been created. Learning, if not mastering them will allow you to approach any CSS framework or library, being it legacy or open source and create new ones with - still relative, ease.

I’ve just released my new portfolio at https://peach.smartart.it: this redesign started two years ago, with more or less 3 months non-stop of work during any spare time I had. I’ve tried to put into it as many good practices and methodologies I could, only those that were fit for purpose and could help me ship something that would be extensible and as much future-proof as possible.

]]>It was like chasing a ghost: you fix one thing, you think everything should now work, you try again, then: SBAM! Another error is bitch-slapping you some truth in your face. Iterate over a dozen times and you'll know how I felt. This was my state until I found about CodeCeption.
]]>In this article I'll try to expose what had let me choose Kanban over SCRUM or XP for our digital team.
]]>I'm presenting here the slides that accompanied the talk I've given in June 2013. I will also try to dig into some of the fears that some developers have while approaching Unit Testing and TDD.

]]>Although the actual content of the article is definitely targeted towards Yii developers, I'll try to link as much as possible to additional resources for anyone can actually explore the content a little bit more.

It took me over two years to finish it, and, I'm still not entirely satisfied about it. But that's how it goes, isn't it? I could probably be never enough satisfied about it.
]]>I have a bunch of on going projects and things I'd like to talk about, but time is not on my side (as usual), but this I think it's worth talking about.
This is a very stupid guide on how to setup a simple script I wrote on how to detect the external monitor and use it automatically.
