T3CON10, Dallas (Texas)

2. The FLOW3 experience
Flow [flō] The mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in
what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and

fields.

7. The MVC Pattern
Model
an object which contains data and business logic of a
certain domain
doesn't contain any information about the presentation of
that data, but rather defines the behaviour
in the FLOW3 project we prefer a special kind of model,
the Domain Model

8. The MVC Pattern
View
represents the display of the model on the web or another
output channel
views only display data, they don't build or modify it

9. The MVC Pattern
Controller
reacts on user input, selects and manipulates the model as
accordingly
selects a view and passes it the prepared model for
rendering
