MVC Architecture

[iamcreasy]

I am new to MVC and I dont know much about the architecture of -QT- Qt. But, I want to know the theoretical stuff that flows underneath.

So, can anyone redirect me to any other web resources that related MVC 'with' -QT- Qt or only MVC, that might help me to understand -QT- Qt better?

Thanks.

:P yes of course i tried this.

But, I was looking for more example related analysis. Something that teaches you how to do it.

[mlong]

Well, you never know around here. :)

You might have a look at chapter 13 of Alan and Paul Ezust's "Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt4":http://cartan.cas.suffolk.edu/oopdocbook/opensource/

Edited to add:

I'm sure there are some other fine resources out there, but I'm not sure of any others off the top of my head.

(Incidentally, it's Qt, not QT.)

Some of the most informative resources i used to get my head around MVC came from Ruby on Rails while i was doing a uni project using it. The whole rails frame work is built around the model so alot of its resources explain the concept well. I however can't remember the resources i used but it may help you along your way.

I learned a lot reading through the "Model/View Programming introduction":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/model-view-programming.html and then implementing a big bunch of model/view thingies.

While there are indeed very good resources outside of the Qt docs that can help you understand MVC, it is good to realize that Qt's model-view implementation is not quite an MVC inplementation. Qt has models, views and delegates, not controllers.

If you are able to understand German, in the German wiki, there is a "Model View Tutorial":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/groups/qt_german/wiki/Model_View_Tutorial including full source code. Up to now, I had no time to translate it to English :-( and it's not 100% finished (Drag'n'Drop, Copy / Paste and filtering / searching is not in the tutorial now).

You can check out this "tutorial":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/modelview.html as well.

Thanks all for the references, I will post sometime later when I dig though all of them.

This (growing) list of references might make a good Wiki page.

[andre]

Well... you have access to the wiki too! What's stopping you?

[mlong]

Nothing, I suppose. I mainly said it as an observation for those who promised more forthcoming items. :)

We seldom use stickies on this forum, mostly for procedural things or events while they happen. We don't have a PM system, but you can send e-mail to any member from their profile page.
