Building The Basic UI Layer: Thomas Claudius Huber

This document discusses building a basic UI layer using the MVVM pattern. It recommends planning the UI layer structure, including a view, view model, and data service. It describes using the MVVM pattern with the view model acting as a bridge between the view and model. It also recommends using dependency injection, specifically Autofac, to resolve dependencies between the view, view model, and data service.
