What the book covers
The book discusses how to keep a system's gist—the business information and rules that govern its evolution and consistency—separate from system modernity, the technology used to store, present, and update that information.
For example, a business rule about which information may be changed belongs to the system gist. The user-interface technology used to present that information can change over time. The book presents the author's approach to handling this separation with MDriven.
Start with Training:Introduction - The MDriven Book for the introduction and its discussion of system gist and system modernity. Then continue with Training:What is MDriven to understand MDriven as a modeling, prototyping, and execution environment.
