Unconference by Seth Cohn - Views Default Args
Grab Views default arguments by setting variables with Context module.
http://drupal.org/project/views_arg_context
This module allows a default value for a view argument to be specified based on a piece of contextual data set through the Context module's context_set function. When configuring the default argument, you specify the context namespace and the attribute name, and the value is pulled automatically. This is particularly useful for getting information to Views blocks. This is far less hackish than specifying path arguments via arg().

Objectifying PHP
Objects can be grouped into
- Data objects
- Behavior objects
Use a factory method to create data objects. "The job of of pizza is to be pizza!"
Try not to build in dependencies between objects. They should be 'atomic'.
Every function call or static method is a hard dependency.
