Some Links about MVC in Web Development
MVC, standing for Model, View and Controller, is the dominating design pattern in web development nowadays. Its origin goes back to the 70ies, when computers were real computers and the Smalltalk folks at Xerox PARC inventend anything we today regard as modern computer techniques. MVC is used in any of new web frameworks which seem to be the foundation of Web 2.0: Ruby on Rails, CakePHP, Catalyst, Struts or Seaside.
I’m not convinced that MVC, being closely tied to OOP, is the best approach to web development. So I started reading some interesting articles about MVC; I present these articles here for anyone interested in MVC and its role in web development.
