comment Does MVC apply only to web
If you look at the original Smalltalk description of what a controller does -- translate user input into messages for the model -- Windows itself is basically one big controller; that's why MVC as a pattern doesn't mesh very well with Windows UI applications. Its used a lot more in UI Frameworks for non-Windows systems.

There are plenty of good resources for learning the history of MVC but I see this misconception a lot, so I wrote a nice summary on my blog blog.kutulu.org/2012/01/mvc-mvp-mvvm-mvpvm-lmnop-wtf.html

comment If you had two projects with the same specification and only one was developed using TDD how could you tell?
I agree. IMO the real answer "if you can tell the difference then someone didn't know what they were doing." In particular, a project developed using TDD and a project designed to be unit tested later should look nearly identical.

comment How far should 'var' and null coalescing operator '??' be entertained without hampering readability?
I'm guessing (without looking) that items is a collection of XML nodes, which I expect to have all of the properties and methods of a collection of XML nodes, and that's really all I need to know.

1. Should that person really care, so long as it's a label with a Text property? 2. If this is one of the rare cases that they REALLY DO have a good reason to care, ask Intellisense. 3. If they're editing code in an IDE without Intellisense, they probably have way bigger inconveniences than 'var' :)
