More Value Model thoughts…

In light of my previous post, I’ve long pondered how I could create a generic PresentationModel/ValueModel framework that can be customised on a per project basis.

1. Must be able to extend the ValueModel interface with real meta data methods.
2. Must be able to modify the behaviour of the component bindings to use use the custom ValueModel metadata defined above.
3. Must support buffering natively.
4. Must be easy to use out of the box and easy to customise.

I’d had a couple of goes at this in the past but yesterday I had a bit of a moment where I believed it might be possible (either rightly or wrongly).

Ignoring any doubts I tried a few ideas and to my surprise it progressed pretty well. I think this was partly because I’d been spending more time away from the Mac where my brain could think in peace.

Anyway, I shall continue plugging away and see how it turns out.
