2. MVC (MVP, MVVM, ...)
MVC pattern is from SmallTalk team, first academic paper is from year 1979
By the original definition
MODEL – business info and logic
VIEW – visual (partial) representation of model
CONTROLLER – middle part in between user and system
Modern web uses the same pattern – html as model, css as view and browser as controller

3. MVC

4. MVC – Why?
Separation of Concerns – business logic (model) and user interface (view) should be separated from each other. BL/Model represent our understanding of real world, UI is just for presentation and manipulation
Business logic should be totally independent
Business logic should be able to support several different UI-s, if needed then in parallel
Controller intermediates between BL and UI
Good teamwork, testable code

5. ASP.NET MVC, WebForms MS has several Web technologies
ASP.NET MVC is predecessor to ASP.NET Core, tightly coupled to IIS and full .NET framework.
WebForms is even older technology
Similar to desktop development
Unclean and cluttered html, state is saved into html
Lots of ready made components
Every page has its own code behind
