Hi all,
Just working through the self-destructing messaging app, its a great tutorial so far and really like the power of parse.com.
I have a general question about the app, does this follow the concept of Model-View-Controller design? I only know the basics of MVC from the previous tutorials, but this feels a little like it doesn't follow the concept, am I correct in saying this or do I not fully grasp the MVC concept yet?
Thanks
Lee

5,407 PointsThanks for sending the links! When I'm looking at the code its that the data is being fetched within the class files of the view controllers, I was under the impression that this fetching/storing of data in arrays would need to go in a totally separate class file (model), and the view controller class files (controller) would then access this class in order to fetch the data. Or am I wrong, and parse.com is in fact the model?
Thanks for any pointers on this, I may be getting it totally wrong on MVC
