Good Silverlight-MVVM Practice Example

Question

I've read a number of good articles about the Model-View-ViewModel pattern and my team intends to implement this pattern in the latest version of our app. I still don't quite get ALL the bits that go together to make this work. I'd like to find a good example of this pattern that I can work through. Something on a small scale, much like Jason Dolinger does in his video here, but I'd like something that I can work through on my own at a slower pace.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Take a look at my article about real life MVVM in Silverlight. Though it is not for newcomers, and targeting mostly expert developers working on real life projects.

Here's one more to add to the list: Simple MVVM Toolkit by Tony Sneed (yours truly): http://simplemvvmtoolkit.codeplex.com.

The toolkit consists of helper classes, Visual Studio item templates, and code snippets. In addition to the actual toolkit, there is a sample app with step-by-step instructions on how to build a basic Silverlight app using the MVVM pattern.
