Talk:MVC

From APIDesign

Sorry, but it is difficult to judge whether the referered article is good or not just because not everybody can read in Czech. Besides, the statement that DCI obsoleted MVC seems incorrect. It is simply one of the recent attempts to consistently implement the MVC paradigm. You may want to review the 'Naked Objects' project as well to see whether MVC is obsolete or not. What you may not realize is the fact that MVC cannot be ignored or abandoned even if you wish this to happen. MVC is the fundamental concept that drives basically every our action, not just those that are related to software guis. It was suggested as the means of creating the multi-windowed user interface for Smalltalk-80 30 years ago, but it does not mean that it was not used in software implicitly (without calling the names) before. It may be surprising for you, but look at the concept of a library. It is exactly MVC in action - you supply arguments necessary for a routine or a method (in OO terms) to work with - that is what is called the View in MVC, you provide the name of the method (Model), and finally you call it - that would be the Controller which produces some results that drive the changes in your 'View' and define the next action of your software.
