MVC Design pattern. Interfaces and Abstract classes

The purpose of the MVC pattern is to make the code robust by separate the data, logic, and user interface.

By decoupling these tree elements you can easily model you application without breaking it
the bigger a project is the more important is it it's build on a sound foundation
so taking you time and get it right from the beginning you will spare a lot of headache and time in the other end.
Another technique I will show here is interfaces

Event dispatchers and custom Events

if you are building a rich interface with many controls and views.
if your application uses many dynamically allocated classes
or if you want to secure the ability to extend and modify your enterprise application in the future!
This is where Event Dispatchers becomes handy.
