This document provides an overview of the MVC pattern and its components. MVC separates an application's source code into three parts - the Model, View, and Controller. The Model handles the application's data logic and rules. The View displays the data to the user. The Controller interprets user input and calls the Model and View to perform actions. The document discusses how MVC is used in various programming languages and frameworks like ASP.NET MVC, and outlines the typical project structure and workflow using MVC.
