Java: Presentation-Model Structure
|

The single most important structure in a program is to separate the
user interface from the model (business logic, domain, ...).
This provides a huge improvement in simplicity, altho at first it may
not appear so. Program enhancements and maintenance are much simpler
with this structure.
A further separation can be found in the next example which
separates the View (displaying information)
from the Controller (processing user interactions) -- the MVC pattern.
However, for most applications, you will probably get most of the benefit
without some of the complications by simply sticking to the Presentation-Model
organization that is shown here.
