Model-View-Controller Architectural Pattern
View
●Manages the display of information
●Where soware interacts with something (people, machines, other soware)
●To enable the interacon, soware has interfaces
●More work goes towards the interfaces that into the ‘core’ of the system since its what he
users interact with
Model
●Manages the behaviour and data of the application
●The structure and constraints of the model are oen referred to as business logic
●Example: University informaon system
○Consists of enes like student, mark, unit, course
○Relaonships between these enes
○Unites can have other units as prerequisites
Controller
●Interprets user inputs
●Responsible for controlling the applicaon logic and acts as the coordinator between the
View and the Model
User Interactions
Two kinds of interacons between the model and the user:
1. User can inspect aspects of the model
●Eg. staff asking system to see a list of student enrolled in a unit
2. User can change the data in model
●Student user can enroll themselves in a unit
