Comment on Rolling Your Own MVC: The View by Sajib

Sajib — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 23:36:45 +0000

First of all, thanks a lot for the great tutorials. Part 1, part 2, part 3 are really great tutorials. I read around 4 to 5 different MVC tutorial (how to create one, instead of using the READY MADE overweight framework such as Zend framework), but I like your’s the most. These are awesome tutorials.

I was looking for other parts of the tutorials (controller and model section), but didn’t find them in the web (tried with Google) . I am wondering whether you had already written those tutorials or still planning to write in the future.

Thanks again and looking forward to read the rest of the tutorials.

Seems like it would be more dangerous to hide the programmers errors from them.

Something similar I wrote about a while ago:

Didn’t realize it was the factory pattern then.

Comment on A Week in JavaScript Patterns: Self-invocation by Bah Humbug

Why self invocation? The invocation is external to the function definition.

Your second example is interesting but I fear it might add extra complexity that would be harder for a newbie to debug than forgetting the ‘new’ keyword. How about something like this:

function Person(){
if(!(this instanceof Person)){
throw “You forgot to use ‘new’”;
}
}

– Or –

function Person(){
if( !(this instanceof Person) ){
return new Person();
}
}

Glad you enjoyed it Rob. I laugh at it now, but here’s a talk I gave a few years back when I finally started to really fall in love with JavaScript (read: when I actually took the time to truly learn it)
