Model-View-Controller
• Model:
• The model is the programmatic representation
of the application's data.
• While the model does not typically know how to
display itself, it often contains functionality for
persisting (and loading) itself from permanent
storage.

Model-View-Controller
• View:
• The View is primarily responsible for rendering
the Model for presentation to the user.
• Users interact with and manipulate the view in
order to change the model.
• The view does not itself store data or maintain
state and is often updated independently from
the Controller or the Model.
• Views often declare an interface allowing
different Views to work for the same task (e.g., a
DesktopView and a MobileView).

Model-View-Controller
• Controller:
• The Controller contains the main application logic
for the system and binds the View to the Model.
• The Controller mediates how the Model is updated
when the user performs actions in the View.
• Controllers are typically tightly bound to the View
interface.
