Any recommendation for basic understanding of MVC architectural pattern ?

Hi everyone! I'm new in web application development. Now I'm in Ruby basics track. After this track, I will continue to Rails track. Because of this, I'm looking for a good explanied documentation or basic samples to learn MVC.

I learned the MVC methodology just by digging into Rails here. Because of that I don't have any good reading, but just to say don't be afraid to jump into Rails. You'll probably pick the MVC layout up fast.

Hello Kevin, Thanks for your advice. I will jump into Rails but I think it would be better if i read or try something about MVC before I start. So I could move faster.

Full disclouser: I have not read this: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mvc-for-noobs--net-10488

Put pretty much everything from Tuts+ is high quality articles, so it's probably worth a good read.

You're welcome. I don't think you can upvote answers in general discussion threads, but no worries. Appreciate the response. Have fun with Rails. MVC's aren't scary. It's actually amazing how fast something can go together, and how organized everything stays.
