Design Patterns discussion

[James Siddle <james.siddle AT uk.ibm.com>]

Hi Jerry, 

I remember hearing about MVP a while
ago on a TDD course run by a trainer called Charlie Poole; he may be able
to point you in the right direction:

        http://www.charliepoole.org/cp.php

The details escape me, but the P stands
for Presenter, and IIRC the role of the Presenter is to coordinate and
manage UI updates. The pattern came up on the course because it was suggested
as a useful pattern for enabling TDD, i.e. that by partitioning an application
into Model, View and Presentation roles, the Model and Presentation logic
could be developed using TDD (View functionality being a poor match to
TDD in my understanding). I also seem to remember something about the fact
that newer widget libraries provide most control logic, so having a Presenter
role is more reprentative of the kind of application behaviour that developers
need to create.

Subject	[gang-of-4-patterns] Difference in MVC vs. MVP

Hi All,
 
           
    I was reading up on the MVC pattern and I kept coming across
references to MVP.  I was wondering if anybody could give a good description
of the differences between the two or had a good reference book to look
at for this?
 
Thanks,
Jerry Hatok
