Overview
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern separates an application into three
main components: the model, the view, and the controller. The ASP.NET MVC framework
provides an alternative to the ASP.NET Web Forms pattern for creating MVC-based Web
applications. The ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation
framework that (as with Web Forms-based applications) is integrated with existing
ASP.NET features, such as master pages and membership-based authentication. The
MVC framework is defined in the System.Web.Mvc namespace and is a fundamental,
supported part of the System.Web namespace.
The MVC pattern helps you create applications that separate the different aspects of the
application (input logic, business logic, and UI logic), while providing a loose coupling
between these elements. The pattern specifies where each kind of logic should be
located in the application. The UI logic belongs in the view. Input logic belongs in the
controller. Business logic belongs in the model. This separation helps you manage
complexity when you build an application, because it enables you to focus on one aspect
of the implementation at a time. For example, you can focus on the view without
depending on the business logic.The course is hands-on with many example programs
and lab exercises.
