Wireframes Magazine The Singleton Design Pattern for PHP By Tony Marston 26th July 2005Amended 10th March 2007 IntroductionA non-class Helper functionA separate Helper method within each classA single Helper method for all classesA single Helper method with class loaderReferencesConclusionAmendment History Introduction In software engineering, a design pattern is a general solution to a common problem in software design. One of these design patterns is called the Singleton. Ensure a class has only one instance and provide a global point of access to it. It achieves this by only creating a new instance the first time it is referenced, and thereafter it simply returns the handle to the existing instance. Why should you want this facility in the processing of a web page? You have references to an object in multiple places, and you do not want the overhead of creating a new instance of that object for each reference.You may wish to pass the object's state from one reference to another rather than always starting from an initial state.

web2.0 top designs Usability Testing : Don’t Guess, Test. Just because nobody complains doesn’t mean all parachutes are perfect. The same goes for web design; usability testing is often overlooked by clients and designers alike, but the value that can be gained from it is immense. People can find content, conversions increase, there is far greater customer satisfaction, and the whole site just looks that much more professional. So, where to begin? As design professionals, it’s easy to sit in our ivory tower and think everyone is as interested in design and technology as we are. We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are. – The Talmud What is usability testing? Most people can find the “Publish” link – good news! Usability testing in its most simple form is just running a design past one or more people to see if it works, if it is understandable, easy to interact with and navigate, and easy to find information on. What does usability testing do for you? 16.07 seconds to find the content? Save time Avoid design by committee In summary
UI Patterns and Techniques: Introduction Introduction There's nothing new here. If you've done any Web or UI design, or even thought about it much, you should say, "Oh, right, I know what that is" to most of these patterns. But a few of them might be new to you, and some of the familiar ones may not be part of your usual design repertoire. Each of these patterns (which are more general) and techniques (more specific) are intended to help you solve design problems. By the way, when I say "UI," I mean Web sites, desktop applications, and everything in between (Web forms, Flash, applets, etc.). These patterns are intended to be read by people who have some knowledge of UI design concepts and terminology: dialogs, selection, combo boxes, navigation bars, whitespace, branding, and so on. (Many of these patterns were originally written by other people in the field. If you're running short on ideas, or hung up on a difficult design quandary, read over these and see if any of them are applicable.
