EDIT 20/06/19I have done a fairly extensive post about how to use BMAP properly so here is a link to my post.

Fixing PrestaShop child theme upload fail
Just a quick post. To be totally honest, I haven’t had time to investigate if this is a filed bug or not, but I’m going to post this here to save others some headaches and also hopefully serve as a reference link for someone else if they want to file the bug officially (sorry, my bad).

How to Import Shopify Data into Prestashop with CSV
Brutal. I spent probably 3 hours trying to figure this out so I thought I should spend about 10 minutes and write this quick blog post for anyone else who might hit this.

Getting Started With Quasar and VueJS on Ubuntu
After watching this recommended tutorial I decided to try out this Quasar thing. My true hope is that we can eventually add Ubuntu Touch as one of the buildable outputs at the end of app creation as it apparently might not be that hard with Cordova… but I digress… I’m not an experienced developer yet so getting started with all…
