There’s a new version of the ASP.NET MVC presentation online. I much prefer this side by side method of displaying presentation based talks. The Silverlight interface is little bit visually chunky, but it works well.
What is a Model View Controller (MVC) Framework?
MVC is a framework methodology that divides an application’s implementation into three component roles: models, views, and controllers.
- “Models” in a MVC based application are the components of the application that are responsible for maintaining state. Often this state is persisted inside a database (for example: we might have a Product class that is used to represent order data from the Products table inside SQL).
- “Views” in a MVC based application are the components responsible for displaying the application’s user interface. Typically this UI is created off of the model data (for example: we might create an Product “Edit” view that surfaces textboxes, dropdowns and checkboxes based on the current state of a Product object).
- “Controllers” in a MVC based application are the components responsible for handling end user interaction, manipulating the model, and ultimately choosing a view to render to display UI. In a MVC application the view is only about displaying information – it is the controller that handles and responds to user input and interaction.
