MVVM Resource List

Here are the resources I mentioned in my Introduction to MVVM in Delphi session at CodeRage 7. There are many more MVVM resources out there, but I’ve tried to keep this as the short-list of those I’ve found truly useful. I’ll update as I encounter more.

Books

Developer’s Guide to Microsoft Prism
A free ebook from MS’s Patterns and Practices group. Prism covers more than just MVVM, but the MVVM sections were useful.
Advanced MVVM
A short-ish ebook covering a game developed using MVVM, and a handful of problems the author faced and the solutions he used. Definitely not your starting point, but worth a look once you’re up and rolling.

Thank you for teaching. I have studied MenialTasks and learned a lot but I have not learned why you created TEnumerableBindSourceAdapter instead of using TListBindSourceAdapter. Would you be so kind as to explain its purpose?

- Hi Peter,
  
  Fantastic question. If I had a prize for best question of the month, you’d get it.
