What are MVP and MVC and what is the difference?

Answer 1

I blogged about this a while back, quoting on Todd Snyder's excellent post on the difference between the two:

Here are the key differences between the patterns:

MVP Pattern

• View is more loosely coupled to the model. The presenter is responsible for binding the model to the view.
• Easier to unit test because interaction with the view is through an interface
• Usually view to presenter map one to one. Complex views may have multi presenters.

MVC Pattern

• Controller are based on behaviors and can be shared across views
• Can be responsible for determining which view to display

It is the best explanation on the web I could find.
