“Managing the logic of transitions between application screens using coordinators”

Andrey talked about how in the ActiDealer and ActiAgent projects his team faced the problem of the often changing flow of transitions between screens (registration, publication of an advertisement, application of vas-services). To solve the problem, they used an approach called Application Coordinator. This made it easy to reuse controllers and change various flow in the application. The talk was about the ApplicationController (aka Coordinator) pattern, how to integrate it into existing architectural approaches (MVC, MVVM), and an implementation example was also considered.
