MVC Architecture

MVC architecture  is basically designed to separate the business logic and application data from the presentation data to manage easily.
MVC stands for L Model – View – Controller

1).  Model: The model object knows about all the data that need to be displayed. It is model who is aware about all the operations that can be applied to transform that object. It only represents the data of an application. The model represents enterprise data and the business rules that govern access to and updates of this data. Model is not aware about the presentation data and how that data will be displayed to the browser.

2). View : The view represents the presentation of the application. The view object refers to the model. It uses the query methods of the model to obtain the contents and renders it. The view is not dependent on the application logic. It remains same if there is any modification in the business logic. In other words, we can say that it is the responsibility of the of the view’s to maintain the consistency in its presentation when the model changes.

3). Controller:  Whenever the user sends a request for something then it always go through the controller. The controller is responsible for intercepting the requests from view and passes it to the model for the appropriate action. After the action has been taken on the data, the controller is responsible for directing the appropriate view to the user. The views and the controllers work very closely together.

Advantages of using the MVC Architecture.

1. Code developed using MVC is resuable
2. When the problems recurs, there is no need to invent a new solution, we just have to follow the pattern and adapt it as necessary.
3. By using the MVC design pattern our application becomes more expressive.
4. Expaning of an application is very easy as business logic is seperated from UI.
5. Tomorrow if you need to switch the database from, say, SQL to Oracle you dont need to change the whole application, only the Model layer will be changed.

    Nice Article, try to elaborate more with examples as you have explained OOPS concepts or E-Commerce fundas, those two posts are really mind blowing.
