Hi, I’m still a Java programmer, never tried Ruby. I have been perfectly fine with the Java lightweight Model in MVC. However this blog has peaked my interest. Why are people starting to put controller logic back in the Model? Why is it better than keeping everything in the controller? Just curious what the motivation is. I am always open to new ideas. Thanks.

I was running into this exact same issue in the asp.net development. It made sense to me to put business logic into the controller and have the model just be a state controller. However, everything I read said that I was wrong.

Thanks, Mike, I’m glad you liked my introspection!

Thanks, also, for the podcast links. I’ll definitely have to check those out.

It was shortly after Dr. Medina had written his book “Brain Rules: Twelve Principles for Surviving, Thriving at Work, Home, and School.” It’s been awhile, I think I may have to go re-listen to those as well.

GREAT post!

BTW, for the record you have gotten better and better at hockey over the past year. I believe I’ve seen you take the puck from “Hockey Jeebus” on several occasions lately.
