Simplifying Software Architecture: Understanding MVC, MVP, and MVVM

Understanding software architecture patterns is very important as applications grow more complex.

All patterns share two core components: the Model (handling data and business logic) and the View (managing user interface).

MVC uses a Controller as a traffic coordinator, allowing direct Model-View communication. MVP employs a Presenter as a strict mediator, ensuring all communication flows through it. MVVM introduces data binding through a ViewModel, automatically syncing data changes with the View.

Choose MVC for simpler web applications, MVP for highly testable systems, and MVVM for data-heavy applications with complex UIs. Companies like Stack Overflow, Google, and Apple use these patterns based on their specific needs.

In order to understand it in simplistic terms, I've covered it briefly in my newsletter scoop.
