What happend to your channel home page? Also I love the intro.

@JragonLtd I got rid of all the stuff there

aka polymorphism

@slier81 I cant even remember what I blab in these videos. Ill do State pattern next probably since its just like this. Then Composite and maybe Iterator, Composite is awesome IMO.

If you look at the client area (the index.php file) it will help you better understand how this pattern works

Really like the video. Have a question, I have a class that does processing for various clients I have. To do this processing, for each client, I need to retrieve some values. However, the way I retrieve these values, is different for each client. Would the strategy pattern be good to use here?

@wrdeboise A nice way is to use something like spl_autoload_register(array($t­his, 'loader')) in your constructor...then a method like loader($className) { //include file }

since php 5.3 you can use type hints

[wrdeboise]

Do you think you can explain how to create an __autoloader class? I'd like to see an easy way to load all those classes. Thanks
