Developing Applications for iOS

Divide objects in your program into 3 camps.

Model = What your application is (but not how it is displayed)

Controller = How your Model is presented to the user (UI logic)

View = Your Controllers minions

Its all about managing communication between camps

Controllers can always talk directly to their Model.

Controllers can also talk directly to their View.

The Model and View should never speak to each other.

Can the View speak to its Controller?

Sort of. Communication is blind and structured.

The Controller can drop a target on itself.

Then hand out an action to the View.

Sometimes the View needs to synchronize with the Controller.

The Controller sets itself as the Views delegate.

The delegate is set via a protocol (i.e. its blind to class).
