As everyone has seen, this is not easy to find time to write news but ..

Here it is, the year 2011 began, the perfect opportunity to make a first report after more than three years spent in intensive web development alongside SillySmart and now Wandi.

The first year of Wandi was very rich with the completion of more than 30 websites.

A big thank you to all those who trust us and allow to advance the adventure with Wandi and SillySmart.

Not forgetting all those who are with us every day: the Wandiz, Charlie, Jeremy, Mickey, Chatton, Nsn guys and all others..

Happy New Year !

For fans of the XML/XSL/XPath combo, a small trick when you push it the limits of generic to form an XPath expression dynamically.

Suppose a xsl variable contains an "end" of the XPath expression (one node), this would give us this:

<!--
  - Select a xml node with a dynamic xPath expression
  -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:php="http://php.net/xsl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <xsl:template match="root">
    <xsl:variable name="dynamicNode" select="'user_name'" />

    <!-- this will give this xPath = "//root/bdd/users[1]/user_name" -->
    <xsl:value-of select="bdd/users[1]/*[name()=$dynamicNode]" />

  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
