WHAT IS MVC?MVC

DEPLOYMENT ARCHITECTURE

“Model-view-controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern for implementing user interfaces”

Divides an application into three interconnected parts, abstracting responsibility into each

The Controller sends commands to the model to update its stateThe Model notifies its associated Views and Controllers where there has been a change in stateThe View requests information from the model to generate output to the user

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model–view–controller

MVC AND CROWNPEAK?

In terms of the CrownPeak CMS, an MVC deployment is no different to anything else

We still publish files, from templates, onto a publishing target

MVC AND CROWNPEAK?

CompromiseMVC separates Model, View & ControllerThe CMS doesn’t understand the MVC concept, and so can’t separate Model from View to enable CMS preview

Traditionalists won’t like the breakdown of rulesAccommodate some compromises to work with a CMS tool

It’s not all change…Still work with Global Layouts, Views, Partial Views, ViewBag, ViewData & RAZR syntax!There are no requirements for custom code to be deployed on the Delivery Server
