Model-View-Controller (MVC)

§  Standard pattern to separate the UI from the business logic

§  Highly important to understand when creating iOS apps

§  At least you‘re forced to program that way

13

Model-View-Controller (MVC)

§  Model

§  „What your application is (but not how it is displayed)“

§  Controller

§  „How your Model is presented to the user (UI logic)“

§  View

§  Your Controller‘s minions
