You’ve heard a lot about MVVM, but you’ve struggled to see how it can help you in your day to day work. Or, you are experienced at implementing MVVM, but looking for some ways to maximize on your investment in this methodology. In this talk, we will build a simple MVVM framework by iteratively identifying pain points in our UI development and eliminating them with simple solutions. Attendees will walk away with code, but more importantly with an understanding of how to apply some simple ideas to improve productivity with MVVM in their own projects.
