Listen "PBS 170 of X: Model View Controller (MVC)"
Episode Synopsis
We're back from our summer hiatus (actually scheduled for the first time ever instead of accidentally happening!)
In this week's episode, Bart takes on the task of explaining the philosophy behind why having a framework for software development is useful and even crucial as projects get bigger and more complex. We chose this topic because the XKPasswd project has already started using a framework called Model View Controller. We get the barest understanding of MVC in this explanation from Bart, and the next episode of Programming By Stealth will be the wonderful Helma van der Linden explaining the details of her implementation of MVC for the XKPasswd project. In the first episode of its kind, I won't be the only student in the class - Bart and I will be learning together.
You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
