Thanks Philip. Your comments have helped a lot. I totally forgot about the Law of Demeter learned way back in second year CS. If I just follow that rule then I think most of my complaints about doing what I was in the view will disappear because I will only ever be using 1 level of indirection.
I will have to consult the pick-axe again on the nuances of iterators. I haven't been using them because coming from a major C/Perl style background, for is just more familiar to me. Thanks for pointing this out though, no one else has yet. As for the model <=> view in MVC, I was looking at 'Design Patterns' and their is indeed a dotted line, where all the rest are solid lines. The book fails to distinguish the difference between the two though. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
