Presenter First Pattern

I've been using MVC patterns for 10+ years and recently have been looking at Fowler's Passive View and Supervising Controller now that he has pulled the MVP pattern.

But the Presenter First pattern really is starting to make a lot of sense when it comes to easy testing and mocking of the model and presenter. I saw someone describe on a blog as "UI as a service". I like the idea of the Model and View being totally ignorant of the view.

I'm still a little fuzzy on the mechanics of wiring MVP triads together at the model levels.

Grab the whitepaper and check it out.
