Model-View-Controller — Misunderstood and Misused 221

paradox1x writes "Malcolm Tredinnick shares a terrific rant against the misunderstanding and misuse of the Model-View-Controller design pattern. In particular he takes issue with the notion that Django should be considered an MVC framework. He says that 'It's as valid as saying it's a "circus support mechanism," since the statement is both true, in some contexts, and false in others (you can definitely use Django-based code to help run your circus; stop looking so skeptical).' I'm not sure I agree with the entire piece, but it is a very good read." We recently discussed another look at the bending and stretching of MVC patterns in the world of Web development.

Comment Innovation in infrastructure (Score 1) 507

Writes McLaughlin:
By not being afraid to test and try new things, a network was created that now serves as the foundation for commerce and communications.

[...] [T]he reality is the Internet itself, the infrastructure that serves as the foundation, has not significantly benefited from innovation.

He neglects to say that in almost all cases, innovation concerning vital infrastructure had better be deployed and tested in a lab environment, not in the wild as in the SiteFinder case. This goes before all contractual, legal, practical and commercial questions.

There has to be a good bricks-and-mortar analogy for this -- I just can't find it!
