Twitter is an awesome service with big possibilities for us webdevelopers. The same goes for my martial arts website fightingarts.nl. On this website I maintain the biggest martial arts gym database in the Netherlands. Of course I allow my visitors to add gyms to the database. This is done quite nice already. When they add a gym, I receive an email with all data and I only have to open a link in my (iPhone) browser to activate the gym. In this progress I wanted to do more, I wanted it to post the new gym to Twitter.

I personally like the simple approach of solving a problem. The same is with template parsing.

In this little article I will show you a way of template parsing many developers use in their frameworks (so do I). It's actually so common, I started using this way of template parsing two years ago. In the meantime I worked at two web-development companies that used the same method.

Many people know Vimeo as 'just another youtube clone'. Fortunately also a great deal of people that Vimeo is much more than just a youtube clone. It's a clone for people with a - sometimes very - creative mind. Resently I've been checking out Vimeo almost daily and I found some very nice video's I just need to share with you guys.

Clean, fast en reliable code is something all experienced programmers strive for. In this tiny article I will explain a certain design pattern, the singleton pattern. This simple pattern is a great way to make your code faster and cleaner.

 The basic thought behind the singleton pattern, is to limit the number of instances of your (core, library etc) classes. You often have to create a new instance of a class when you want to use it. This takes allot of precious processing and memory. With the singleton pattern, you will limit these instances by only one!

Most experienced PHP programmers will know the Singleton design pattern. A pattern used to make sure only one instance of a class is initiated at the same time. It's used mostly on database classes, but is it that useful?

First of all I would like to say: Yes, it is useful, but its not more useful than applying other classes with this pattern.

wMovement finally has a CMS! I will use this weblog to post my thoughts about webdevelopment and ofcourse some code (once in a while). So keep checking the weblog for updates =)
