Software architectural models like MVC and PAC are now well known, and can be implemented in many different ways. This is a problem for students when they have to implement these models, because they do not know how to select an appropriate solution. For now several years we have proposed a methodology to facilitate the implementation of the PAC model. This methodology is mainly based on Design Patterns such as « Proxy », « Abstract Factory », and « Singleton ». Thanks to this methodology, the structure of the source code is imposed and ensures an efficient separation between the application kernel and the GUI. Then, students learn to implement this separation efficiently, and they discover also with this separation that the software can evolve more easily: it is easy to change the GUI or the kernel without affecting the other part, and to add interaction possibilities to a non-interactive kernel.
