ASP.NET MVC

ASP.NET MVC is the implementation of the MVC pattern in ASP.NET. The disadvantages of ASP.NET Web Forms which tried to mimic Windows development in the web environment, such as limited control over the generation of HTML, coupling with business code and UI code, hard-to-grasp, and complex page life cycle, are resolved in ASP.NET MVC. As most of the modern applications are controlled by client-side JavaScript libraries/frameworks, such as jQuery, KnockoutJS, AngularJS, and ReactJS, having complete control over the generated HTML is of paramount importance. As for Knockout, Angular, and React, these single-page libraries actually generate the HTML directly within the browser via their own template engines. In other words, the rendering is done in the browser rather than the server. This frees up server resources and it allows the web application to behave just like a disconnected application, as in mobile apps.

Let us talk a bit about the Model-View-Controller pattern and how it benefits the web application development.
