Introducing MVVM

Abstract

By this time, it should be clear to you that the designers and developers of Visual Studio have done a great job of creating an environment where it is a simple undertaking to drag a few controls onto a form, double-click them in the designer, and start writing your application logic. They have been doing this very well since long before the .NET languages. Now I’m going to tell you that taking advantage of this great functionality is probably one of the last things you want to do if you’re developing anything but the most trivial of applications. (By the way, a trivial application that does its job and is well used rarely becomes trivial.)

It’s not about what you know, it’s about what you can prove. —Denzel Washington (as Alonzo Harris)
