Talking about Mansura I’m feeling we -elder developers- can play better role in adding one more “REAL” valid Open source competitor specially when I’m witnessing lots of young developers adopting python and django as the main tools in their graduation projects and independently organized projects including 3 of them mentored by me.

I’m hoping that we can start this in the right way, pull developers to the collaborative attitude, create user active user groups early, start more community projects, use standard techniques early and avoid problems we faced in PHP communities.

That’s why I’m planning to give courses related to python and web development using  django framework.

Soon isA I’ll be posting contents of the Python course and django course.

Stay tuned

Following is a brief example for the singleton design patterns which will enable you from having only one instance of the resource you are controlling .. in this example it’s the mySQL database connection.
Else you will have multiple instances of the same class “connection” each time you want to connect.

define('DB_NAME', "test");
define('DB_USER', "root");
define('DB_PASS', "rootpass");
define('DB_HOST', "localhost");

class Connection{
	private static $connection_;

	private function __construct(){
		$con = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
		mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $con);
		Connection::$connection_ =  $con;
	}

	public static function getConnection(){
		if( !Connection::$connection_ )
			new Connection;
		return Connection::$connection_;
	}

}

$con = Connection::getConnection();

و نسألكم الدعاء بظهر الغيب بالله عليكم
في رعاية الله و أمنه

Last 2 weeks

I was working last 2 weeks -between Cairo and Mansoura- for tadabborIT, for tadabbor website next release, also I’ve attended the JDC2010 conference and through that week I should have read about 4 reading tasks and should have solved tasks by Design patterns course by my dear mentor Ahmed Soliman, while planning to join GSoC.

Not to mention the courses and websites I’m delaying and canceling ..

And here I’m defining a new busyness level ..

One note before i go: If i survived that stage, I think I’ll be much more stronger than what I used to be, I also believe that It should be a milestone.

Anyway, I believe I can try

This post is more than month on my drafts ..

It’s about using NetBeans 6.7.1 PHP IDE with PHPUnit I wanted to show how easy is it to make a test and run it ..

so I’ll share the experiment ..
As shown in the following slideshow:

1-I created a PHP Class file:

2-I created empty file with a class and couple of methods

3-I generated a test for the class and it prompted me to choose the folder where I’ll put the tests

4-Finally(My favorite part) I right click the test file to run it and I get the result in green and red … obviously
green is test passed or pending and red if it’s failed ..

Note: I used to use simple test , still can’t find equivalent test method to test the HTML interface … and it always required me to view the test results in the browser ..
PHPUnit is more fun now and it’s integrated to NetBeans, the IDE I recently love at most specially on Mac
