Introduction to ASP.Net MVC

Back to Home Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern. Originally formulated in the late 1970s by Trygve Reenskaug as part of the Smalltalk, MVC architecture works on code reusability and separation of concerns. It was originally developed for desktop Then adapted for internet applications. The Model is the application object, the View is UI presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user reacts to user input from UI. MODEL: - Set of classes that describe the data we are working with - Rules for how the data can be changed and manipulated - May contain data validation rules - Often encapsulate data stored in a database as well as the code used to manipulate the data Most likely a Data Access Layer of some kind VIEW: - Defines how the application’s user interface (UI) will be displayed - Support master views (layouts)  - Support sub-views (partial views or controls) - Web: Template to dynamically generate HTML CONTR...
