Malcom Groves Code Rage 7 Video Presentation on MVVM
With the addition of cross-platform support to Delphi, and the coming Mobile Studio product, there is an increasing need to have device-specific User Interfaces. At the same time, you want to minimize the amount of code you have to rewrite for each platform. This session will look at Model-View-ViewModel, one technique that leverages LiveBindings to not only minimize the effort required to slide different UIs in front of your code, but also increases the maintainability and testability of your app as a bonus
Malcolm Groves Code Rage 7 Blog Post on MVVM
I remember that when I first started programming with Delphi 3 many years ago, I was very surprised to discover that "on" events become functions in the *form*. That's a sure-fire way to encourage poor separation between UI and functionality. Before I used Delphi, I was using CodeWarrior on Mac, and there events were started by the controls themselves, making it easy and natural to receive events in the event loop and make appropriate calls to functional code in well-separated units.
