[ February 03 2006 ] • MVC Without the OOP
Should one methodology impose another?

I came upon an interesting post on the Fiftyfoureleven.com blog about MVC and OOP, and it got me thinking ... should one methodology impose another when it is not required?

As the blog post indicates, you most definately can build an MVC application without OOP, but most frameworks that implement the MVC methodology require the use of OOP.

Now there is nothing wrong with OOP, I've built my share of OOP applications, but do most websites require OOP ... probably not, but even those should follow MVC, but how many people have been put off using MVC because they didn't want to go thru the requirements of learning OOP?
