How to ignore GUI as much as possible without rendering APP less GUI developer friendly
- by pbernatchez
The substance of an app is more important to me than its apperance, yet GUI always seems to dominate a disproportionate percentage of programmer time, development and target resource requirements/constraints.
Ideally I'd like an application architecture that will permit me to develop an app
using a lightweight reference GUI/kit and focus on non gui aspects to produce
a quality app which is GUI enabled/friendly.
I would want APP and the GUI to be sufficiently decoupled to maximize the ease
for you GUI experts to plug the app into to some target GUI design/framework/context.
e.g. targets such as: termcap GUI, web app GUI framework, desktop GUI, thin client GUI.
In short: How do I mostly ignore the GUI, but avoid painting you into a corner when I don't even know who you are yet?
