Hi Everyone I have received great advice from this list in the past.
My Son was diagnosed with Autism(he is getting much better now) and I shelved a project I was working on for almost 2 years. I am still stuck in the planning stage but I am ready to go forward again. I want to avoid re-inventing the wheel and I would like to learn more about the standard ways in which desktop Apps are put together. There are many books on programming that give code oriented examples about simple problems, for instance, how to connect to a DB or create a dialog with a widget toolkit and there are design pattern books that discuss paradigms in an abstract way but I am looking for something in the middle. To be a little more specific, I assume that most applications would follow the MVC pattern but surely for one application, a flat file would be fine for the DB, while another App would require a proper relational database such as sqlite or postgresql? Surely there are different controller patterns within the MVC paradigm? Are there general folder structures people use? How do people go about adding hooks to their applications to allow for other languages to utilize them? etc. A book that cited examples and strategies would really help. Could anyone suggest something that would help me to plan an application? I can manage with the specific pieces of code, It's the general layout that I will probably fail with.
