I need help understanding Titanium Alloy (MVC) development

Question

I'm used to developing in MVC frameworks such as cake and backbone, but I can't get my head around developing in Alloy. There don't seem to be any good examples online. I would be very grateful if someone could give an example of how you would set up a couple buttons that respond to click events and bring you to new windows. I'm also using Ti's map api to show a google map, but I'm not sure how to correctly initialize that either. Thanks!
