Our database is working well, but we currently have things set up so we are duplicating the database information, and that is going to be a nightmare to maintain. In this tutorial, we're going to clean up our database code by isolating the PDO
creation in the ShipLoader
class. Even with that in place though, we also need to make sure we only return one PDO
object. We don't need a new database connection every time it gets called on a page. We'll fix that with a little bit of logic in our PDO
code.
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?
