Architectural patterns and other peculiarities of developing GUIs

This lecture gives an overview of architectural patterns specific for GUI, going into more detail with the layered, the model-view-controller and the model-view-presenter patterns. It also discusses two techniques for developing GUIs that are often ignored or misunderstood when working with research software: event-driven programming, multithreading and multiprocessing. This presentation is part of the workshop "Graphical User Interfaces for Research Software", delivered by Diego Alonso Álvarez and supported by the Software Sustainability Institute and Imperial College London
