MVVM Design Pattern Demo

An Xcode 9 project written in Swift 4 code built using the MVVM design pattern, truly extolling the virtues of MVVM over MVC.

In the tutorial accompanying this repo, I'll introduce you to the "Model-View-ViewModel" or "MVVM" design pattern. For a historical and pragmatic perspective, I'll compare the very well-known "Model-View-Controller" or "MVC" design pattern, long favored by many iOS developers, to MVVM, which has steadily been gaining traction among the same group of developers.

Here's the app -- resulting from building this project in Xcode -- in action:
