We already made some good progress on the core functionality of our app. However, before we move any further, we should reflect on the code we have written. Ultimately, we haven't actually written that many lines of code, but we can definitely improve on this. The biggest shortcoming of our code is that we have put a lot of business logic inside our view controller. This is not a good separation of our different model, view, and controller layers.
