Hi

This may seem a dumb question and I apologise in advance if it is,
but.....

I've been developing 'hobby-apps' for quite a few years now, nothing
serious but just dabbling really.  I've now got a chance to develop
something with a bit more meat on it and am therefore looking at
starting out in the best way I can as far as design etc goes.

I've already got the data side sorted via a data access layer etc and
am now just looking at the presentation layer.

I've obviously been doing some googling on best practices etc as far as
presentation layer goes and have come across the MVP pattern (and MVC
naturally) and have now got enough of an understanding (I think) to
implement it in my app, the question is - should I?

I've read a few contrary views on the subject (both for and against)
and just wondered what others were doing - I know there's naturally
more effort involved in implementing MVP but is it something that, in
some instances, is done for the sake of it (i.e. pattern overload!) or
does it really have that much benefit that it's worth it?

Opinions/advice welcome!!

Thanks in advance
Martin
