MVC(Model view controller)
The Model represents the application data
The View renders a presentation of model data
The Controller handles and routes requests made by the client
Why use MVC?
- Because it is a tried and true software design pattern that turns an application into a maintainable, modular, rapidly developed package.
- Crafting application tasks into separate models, views, and controllers makes your application very light on its feet. New features are easily added, and new faces on old features are a snap.
- The modular and separate design also allows developers and designers to work simultaneously, including the ability to rapidly prototype.
- Separation also allows developers to make changes in one part of the application without affecting others.
