DevShed ramps up another new series today with this new article giving developers a look at working with object-oriented programming through the eyes of design patterns. It's another excerpt from the George Schlossnagle book "Advanced PHP Programming".   This chapter provides an overview of the advanced OO features now available in PHP. Some of the examples developed here will be used throughout the rest of this book and will hopefully serve as a demonstration that certain problems really benefit from the OO approach.   The article lays down the foundation for the more complex information to come. It introduces object-oriented programming briefly, and talks about some of the handy features of it - like inheritance, static attributes and methods.

The Museum of Danish Cartoon Art in Copenhagen, part of the Royal Library of Denmark, is in discussions to buy the 12 caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that ignited riots leading to 50 deaths around the world after they were published in a Danish newspaper in 2005, The Art Newspaper reported. âThe caricatures have become a part of Danish history,â Jytte Kjaergaard, a spokeswoman for the Royal Library, said. Claus Seidel, one of the cartoonists and the chairman of a Danish cartoonists association, said, âWe have generally agreed that we want a museum to have the works, but everyone still has to take a final decision for himself.â.

In his latest post, Stoyan Stefanov introduces a new project he's working on, the implementation of CSS sprites:   This is a simple technique used for page load performance purposes. Since HTTP requests are the most expensive thing you can do in regards to front-end performance, you strive for making as little requests as possible. So instead of having the browser download 4 rounded corner images for example, you create one image that has all four. Then you use CSS' background-position to only show the part of the image you want.   He explains briefly how the system works and includes a simple example in PHP (showing how to use the imagemagik utility to create the custom image).

A month ago I was introduced to the works of Michel Gondry.  In short, I was amazed and tantalized by his short films and music videos.  Even if you haven't heard of him, you've probably seen his many works in Gap commercials, various music videos, and the recent movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.    Many of his works explode with visual elements that, when taken alone, are simple and mundane.  However, under his masterful guidance, these elements come together to form a highly mesmerizing visual experience.  He never ceases to push visual technologies and challenge our ideas about the visual medium.
