Model-View-Controller (MVC): Separating App Logic from UI
MVC organizes code by separating data (Model) from the user interface (View), using a Controller as the go-between. This is the foundational pattern for many UI frameworks, like Cocoa and UIKit. The main footgun is the "Massive View Controller."
MVC organizes code by separating an app's core data and business logic (Model) from its user interface (View). A Controller acts as the intermediary, taking user input from the View and updating the Model. This is the foundational pattern for many UI frameworks like Cocoa and UIKit, promoting reusability.
