  • Understand Middleware (Request-Response loop)
  • Configure POST and GET Routing
  • Define Model-View-Controller (MVC) Frameworks

Model View Controller

"Design patterns" describe solution to common programming problems in general terms which can be used in any language. One of the most common design patterns is the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The model represents the data in your application, the view is the visual component that presents the interface for users to interact with that data, such as clickable links, form fields, and buttons., The controller is the coordinator.
