oo question - mixing controller logic and business logic

Question

I\'m not sure if I\'m using \"standard\" terms, but this is a basic OO question I\'m trying to resolve.

I\'m coding a windows form. I don\'t want logic in the form

Answer 1

What you're doing is a form of "fat controller" architecture. These days software development is trending toward thin controllers.

OO design is all about decoupling. If you internalize only one thing about OO programming, let it be that.

Check out "Domain-Driven Design Quickly." This free e-book is a condensed introduction to the concepts covered in Eric Evans' important book "Domain-Driven Design."

Getting educated in these concepts should help you to understand how to separate business logic from the controller, or service layer.
