Jan 26 Fri - UI Design

Model

• Database of books/users
• Constructed by backend (not sure which language yet)
• Holds all info

View(UI)

• Constructed using HTML/CSS
• Display textbooks on sale, Craigslist style organization
• Projecting what is given by Controller

Controller (UX)

• Any change to view happens in controller
• Get data from Model, make stuff, give to View
• Everything must pass through Controller

GOAL: Keep Model, View and Controller files distinct from one another

• Go over CSS/Javascript before lab on Tuesday
• Model will be largely handled by backend
• View and Controller almost entirely frontend

Lots of communication necessary with backend to keep View/Controller in line with Model

• Compromise, meet halfway, flexbility is key
