Question: Can you explain MVC framework a little more?
|
Answer: Models provide access and storage for the application data. Typically a model represents a database table. Models implement methods to access or modify the data,
most commonly these are create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
Views transform the application data in memory to user interface elements. They may also just serialize the data or transform the data to other user interface representations.
Controllers are the glue of the pattern. They are the entry point of the pattern and make models and views work together. All operations are first handled by controllers.
