Introduction to MVC

Explore the MVC design pattern or architectural pattern , its features, and its applications.

                                        What is MVC?
                                        MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, which is a software architectural pattern commonly used in web development to separate an application into three main logical components:

MVC developed by?

MVC (Model-View-Controller) was developed by Trygve Reenskaug, a Norwegian computer scientist, in the late 1970s.
He introduced the pattern while working on a project at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center).

Why We Use MVC:

MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a design pattern commonly used in software development, particularly for building user interfaces. It separates an application into three interconnected components, each with distinct responsibilities:

Model : Represents the data and business logic of the application. It manages the data, retrieves it, and updates it.
View : Represents the UI (user interface), displaying the data provided by the model in a format that users can interact with.
Controller : Acts as an intermediary between the Model and View. It listens to user input (events) and updates the Model or View accordingly.
Separation of Concerns : MVC keeps each component (Model, View, and Controller) distinct, making the application easier to manage and scale. Changes in the business logic (Model) don't directly impact the user interface (View), and vice versa.
Reusability : You can reuse models and controllers across different views (e.g., for different platforms or screens in an app). This helps in building apps faster.

Why We Need MVC ?

Separation of Concerns By separating the application into three distinct components (Model, View, and Controller), each part has a specific responsibility. This helps organize the code, making it more modular and easier to work with.
Improved Maintainability If you need to update the user interface (View), you can do so without touching the business logic (Model). Similarly, updates to the business rules or data layer won’t require a rewrite of the UI or the controller logic.
Reusability: The separation allows you to reuse parts of the application more easily. For example, the same model logic can be used across different views or in different projects, while the views can be swapped out for different platforms.
Scalability: When new features need to be added, it's much easier to extend the application with MVC. You can add new models, views, or controllers as needed without disrupting the rest of the system.
