I’ve managed to spend some time sitting back and looking over some of hte projects I’ve worked on for the past year or so with the Zend Framework and decided that it was finally time to look into something that has always bugged me since the old Cubix Framework days.
That was the lack of decoupling of my Model layer from the View and Controller layers of my MVC projects. Don’t get me wrong, the applications we’ve written work and work well, but the perfectionist in me simply just refuses to stop trying to mentally refactor old projects.
From the time I had first conceptualised the our in-house MVC framework: Cubix and this is before switching to Zend, something that has left me in Analysis paralysis is the Model layer.
I mean, most things I’ve read usually mention the Model layer as a representation of your applications business logic, but this is left wide open to interpretation. The difficult thing here is, that because the business logic is so specific to projects, there’s no real way of explaining it aside from some really basic examples which turn out to be the equivallent of a Javascript example of: “Hello World.”
