Model View Controller
Model View Controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components: the Model (data and business logic), the View (user interface), and the Controller (handles user input and updates the Model and View). This separation promotes organized code, easier maintenance, and scalability by decoupling data management, presentation, and control flow. It is widely used in web and desktop applications to structure codebases effectively.
Developers should learn MVC when building applications that require clear separation of concerns, such as web apps with complex user interactions or large-scale systems where maintainability is crucial. It is particularly useful in frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, or ASP.NET MVC, where it helps manage state, handle user requests, and render dynamic content efficiently. By adopting MVC, teams can collaborate more easily, test components independently, and adapt to changing requirements without extensive refactoring.
