Chapter 13
Structuring Your Interactive Application with Model-View-Controller
In This Chapter
- Decoupling a user interface from its data
- Designing a flexible interactive system
- Implementing a Model-View-Controller architecture
This chapter presents a really cool way of structuring your architecture when you have some data and want to look at it in multiple ways. The Model-View-Controller pattern (usually abbreviated MVC, as I do in this book) is the foundation of many systems in the real world that need exactly this functionality.
Many people associate MVC with the Smalltalk programming language, which is the best-known example. As you see in this chapter, though, MVC isn't specific to Smalltalk.
