Written by Ben Parees
quick overview of mvc
The Model-View-Controller pattern, referred to as MVC in most literature, is a way of structuring code to achieve separation of concerns. In this case, the three concerns are managing the physical data, representing the data to the user, and tying the representation of the data to the physical data in such a way that it can be manipulated by the user. These three concerns are managed by:

Model/view/controller. There are literally hundreds of pages describing MVC on the Web. If someone wants to learn about it, what should (s)he do? Look at the first few hits in Google? I expect we can do better than that. Write a review of the MVC sites on the Web. Which are best for learning about the concept? Which have the most instructive examples? Which are best for explaining how to use the pattern in Ruby and Java? If you choose this topic, you should be sure to peruse at least several dozen sites.
