Model-View-Controller, a software architectural pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components. This separation helps organize code and makes applications easier to maintain and modify.
Acronym formed from English words 'Model,' 'View,' and 'Controller.' Developed in the late 1970s by Trygve Reenskaug at Xerox PARC for the Smalltalk programming language, representing a conceptual framework for organizing software design.
MVC revolutionized software development by solving the problem of 'spaghetti code' where business logic, user interface, and data handling were all tangled together. This pattern became so fundamental that it influenced the design of countless web frameworks and applications we use today.
