Alternatives to the MVC

Question

What are the alternative "design methods" to the Model View Controller? MVC seems to be popular (SO was built with it, I know that much) but is it the only method used?

Answer 1

There are many others:

• Model View Presenter (MVP)

  • Supervising Controller
  • Passive View

• Model View ViewModel (MVVM)

  • This is common in WPF applications (though Prism uses the MVP pattern (usually))
