MVVM Pattern
The document discusses the MVVM pattern, which is a variation of the MVC pattern introduced by the WPF team. It describes the key components of MVVM - the View, which represents the user interface and uses binding to subscribe to the ViewModel; the ViewModel, which is an abstraction of the View that acts as a connector between the View and Model; and the Model, which can be a data, domain, or service layer class. The MVVM pattern aims to remove logic from code-behind, allow independent development of the View and ViewModel, prevent duplicate code, and enable better testability. Several supporting libraries and frameworks for implementing MVVM are also listed.
