Where the heart leads developer how to#
As templating is such a powerful feature and as it has so much going on "under the hood", we're going to tackle templates over a few articles so, by the end of this article, we should have an understanding of what templates are and how to create our own, as well as the basic infrastructure we are going to need to provide support for registering and finding templates. In this article, we're going to start looking at templates and how we can use them to support developing MVVM applications, including a discussion of View first and ViewModel first development. Yes, that's right, we're going to recreate some of what goes on behind the scenes to show some of the "magic" that makes MVVM possible. So, for this first article, we're going to ditch all those fancy platforms, and build an MVVM application from the ground up as a Console application. However, because these different implementations all rely on features that aren't visibly exposed to us, the developer, we tend to miss out on just what it is that makes MVVM such a useful tool in our development toolbox, and what features we need to start off with MVVM. Now, you are probably aware that MVVM started off life as a pattern for WPF applications, and that it has spread out from its humble beginnings into other languages, frameworks and platforms. The simple reason is, there's a lot of misinformation about MVVM out there and I hope that this series of articles helps to dispel some of the myths about what is a really, really straightforward pattern. There have been many, many articles about MVVM so you may wonder why I am writing more articles on it.
