Design question

Hi all,

As a developer entering the cocoa world for the first time one of the things I am finding difficult is how to start structuring an application, I mean what classes should I create to make an OK application design.

I have a simple application I am working on at the moment, and am hoping someone can give me some pointers on the classes I should write.  The application will be using the "Quicklite" framework to connect to SQLite databases and display a selection list of all tables in the database, with a table view to show the data from the selected table.

A first attempt at designing the application has come up with the following,

- I will need a class to open and maintain the connection to the database.  I was thinking of using an Application Delegate class to do this and then expose the connection via a property.
- I will need a view controller class for the table list UI object.  This controller class will goto the Application delegate for the database connection and ask it a list of tables in the database.  It will also maintain the current selected table.  Any changes to the selection will trigger a call to the table view controller to make an update.
- I will need a view controller class for the table view UI object.  This controller class will goto the application delegate for the database connection and ask for table/row information as needed to display in the table.  The current selected table is read from the table list controller object.
- I will need to provide outlets in the controller classes so interface builder can bind them all together.

Does anyone have any comments on my design so far?

Thanks

Phillip Hall
