I think nearly every definition of MVC I've read has been different. At this point it just means you split something into three classes as far as I can tell.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Are there any books or websites you'd recommend I read to learn more about design instead? I 100% need to learn by doing, but wouldn't it also be good to learn what has already been discovered so I don't have to reinvent the

I agree that the internals of my code should be abstracted away from my users. But don't I still want the internals to be well designed so they are maintainable and extendable?

Thank you!

Yeah, I guess without the context I wouldn't really understand why it was designed that way. Or know what situations a design like that would be good for. Is there any documentation or literature that has helped you?

This is pretty much how I've learned up to this point (and will of course continue). Trying to learn from real world code will be a new experience for me. Not sure how valuable it will be but should be fun either way.

I haven't considered time to implement as a metric for evaluating design, but it makes a lot of sense. I definitely learn so much from my team's codebase. Most of what I learn is either from the good designs I see in there or from

Yeah, as I've been learning more about software design, it's become pretty clear there is no silver bullet. It would be nice though. I find it a bit overwhelming to try to find the best solution for a problem when there are so man

Well maybe I'll take some time to learn about email servers then. I use email everyday so I suppose it'll be good to know a little more about how it works.

Oooh I like that idea. I may steal it. I'll be on the lookout for documents like that. It'll be interesting to see what patterns/designs were avoided. There are so many ways to accomplish the same thing it might be nice to se

I'm definitely going to do that. I asked because I wanted to start off with some that I'd knew would be well designed. However, it would probably be more interesting to see a wide variety of quality than just the good ones. Or may

Whoa, I didn't know something like this existed. Thank you so much! This will make it way easier to check if something has already been asked.
