MVC Pattern

Original name of MVC pattern was Thing-Model-View-Editor when it was launched in 1979, however latter it is simplified as Model-View-Controller. It supports Separation of concern (SoC) by separating UI, Business Logic and Data storage.

                             

• Model
  Model is the part of your application that handles all logic sections; such as a request from user to insert or retrieve data from database
• ViewThis specifies the UI of application. It helps you describe how your UI is going to be displayed. Views are created from Model Data and the main role of View is display data to Users.
• Controller
  These are the classes, which controls the flow of application, execution of specific business logic.This handles all validations from users, reads data from view and also sends data to Model.
