ASP.Net MVC Framework Introduction

MVC stands for Model - View - Controller and is an architectural pattern used in software engineering. Successful use of the pattern isolates business logic from user interface considerations, resulting in an application where it is easier to modify either the visual appearance of the application or the underlying business rules without affecting the other.

Model

Used to accessing, retrieving, using, and maintaining data.

View

Used for displaying all the data.

Controller

Used to handle things from View to Model and From Model to View. The interaction between View and Model happens in the Controller.
