Model view controller.

For years I have heard MVC model view controller banded about willie Nillie. 

I got the basics but finally I really get it. It should actually be called cmv or vmc. Not MVC. 

So how do these layers work. 

Let's start at the controller layer. 

The controller is where all and I mean all the data is dealt with. Using this layer classes Adler created the rerun Lists of items air a single item from the data. All items from his class are returned to the model in a structured data class or as a data type. This means that the model becomes data implementation agnostic. 

At no time should the model directly manipulate the data rather it works with the data types passed to it from the controller and uses those variances and structures to develop the logic or model on what happens to the data. 

Which brings us to the model. 

He model is the logic that links the controller to the view. Using the data the view provides it and manipulating or changing it view calculation or any other logic so it can be saved in the data or displayed via the view. You coils break this in to two layers toto. Creating view logic and calculated logic. Especially in C# where the code behind can call a model class to do the calc and logic to be view Independant. 

The view 
Once the model has all the applications logic the view is just used to display info to the user or send user entered data to the model and then the controller

He way data is viewed or displayed to he user is totally Independant of the model 

And that is why it is such a great concept since these layers could be independent of each other a different controller can be used. as the data and class calls are the same neither the model nor the view will care.

So perhaps it is worth having three folders one called class one called model and one called view.

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil

Mindfullness Meditation and Depression - in a pod cast

Over the last 3 years I have found that meditation has really assisted me, in resolving the depression I have had. I have planned to write about my experience for a while, and hopefully will get around to doing that. However today having listen to the latest podcast by Dan Harris on 10% happier, so many things just clicked in to place, so I want to share it. To understand what is covered in the podcast I would recommend you understand what mindfulness meditation is, and what the default mode network in the brain is (see links below). Listen to the pod cast - but here are some extracts (which I do not have permission to publish - and will remove if asked).
