Re: A Concise Example of MVC

I know very little about MVC except that it's the latest thing and it was made popular by RoR — and what I read in this article. How well does the concise example above fit into the Catalyst framework?

I've been meaning to make myself learn that for some time now, but I'm just so darn productive in regular old CGI it's hard to make myself try it.

MVC does not imply a certain technology or language. I use MVC even when building desktop applications. Personally, I think Java was one of the biggest promoters of it through EE, way before Ruby on Rails. I develop in CGI all of the time. The above example is in CGI. If you are good at CGI, go with it. But you can still enhance your skills by understanding the concepts of MVC. Frameworks such as Catalyst take the tedium out of setting up a new job. They can definitely help you be more productive, but are no requirement to proper MVC design. Ted Young `($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)`	[reply] [d/l]
