To talk to the database, we first open a connection using a class called PDO. This returns an object, which we set to the $pdo variable. In this tutorial we're going to talk a little more about what this means and how we use them. We'll also take a quick look at how this "new" object-oriented way of doing things is different from the old, deprecated functions.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
