Violating basic principles in the "One-App-Eight-Architectures" code

[tomassliz]

In "One-App-Eight-Architectures" project you have created a model directly in a view controller. I understand that for simplification you have chosen this path. But for example in MVVM the view should not know about model. I think that this can be confusing for some people. I know - it's simple example app. But from the whole point of view - this is a book about app architectures so why to violate their basic principles and dependencies and bend them over when you try to teach them?

Thanks for reporting this. There are many things that could be different in that very app (IOU's, type-safety, etc.). The focus is not at all on how the model is created, but how it is used. We decided to take that shortcut for the sake of simplicity!
