What is MVC and what are the advantages of it? [closed]

Answer 1

It separates Model and View controlled by a Controller, As far as Model is concerned, Your Models has to follow OO architecture, future enhancements and other maintenance of the code base should be very easy and the code base should be reusable.

Same model can have any no.of views e.g) same info can be shown in as different graphical views. Same view can have different no.of models e.g) different detailed can be shown as a single graph say as a bar graph. This is what is re-usability of both View and Model.

Enhancements in views and other support of new technologies for building the view can be implemented easily.

Guy who is working on view dose not need to know about the underlying Model code base and its architecture, vise versa for the model.

If you follow the stackoverflow podcasts you can hear Jeff (and Geoff?) discuss its greatness. http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2008/08/podcast-17/. But remember that using these separate layers means things are easier in the future--and harder now. And layers can make things slower. And you may not need them. But don't let that stop you from learning what it is--when building big, robust, long-lived systems, it's invaluable.

Answer 3

Jeff has a post about it, otherwise I found some useful documents on Apple's website, in Cocoa tutorials (this one for example).

Answer 4

![mvc architecture][1]

Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern for implementing user interfaces. It divides a given software application into three interconnected parts, so as to separate internal representations of information from the ways that information is presented to or accepted from the user.

Answer 5

Main advantage of MVC architecture is differentiating the layers of a project in Model,View and Controller for the Re-usability of code, easy to maintain code and maintenance. The best thing is the developer feels good to add some code in between the project maintenance.
