Over the past few weeks (time allowing) I’ve been keen to learn Model-Glue. I don’t proclaim to be an OO person in any shape or form but i kinda understand the principles now. Coming from procedural programming into the OO world and having to think about DAOs, Gateways and Beans is certainly daunting to some. Keen to learn ModelGlue I took Brian Koteks Bookshop sample applications available in Fusebox and Mach-II and turned them into a ModelGlue version. Doing it this way I don’t have to worry about the how and why’s of OO and can just get on with learning MG and worry about them later. With the existing objects in the model layer I adapted the managers into ModelGlue controllers and changed the Mach-II event arguments into Model-Glue event arguments. At the moment I have about 80% of it converted over to ModelGlue so once it’s finished I’ll put it up here (with Brian’s ok) for folk to critique.
