MVC Explained in 4 Minutes

MVC is the most popular architecture for building complex web servers. It is used by many frameworks, and implemented into nearly every modern web application. In this video I will cover what MVC is, how it works, and why you should use it.
MVC stands for Model, View, Controller. It is used to define how these three different entities can interact with each other.
The Controller handles user requests and delegates information between the Model and the View. It only deals with requests, and never handles data or presentation.
The Model handles data validation, logic, and persistence. It interacts directly with the database to handle the data. The Controller will get all of its data information by asking the Model about the data.
The View handles presenting the information. It will usually render dynamic HTML pages based on the data the model fetches. The Controller is responsible for passing that data between the Model and View, so that the Model and View never have to interact with each other.

I’m fairly new to MVC and out of all the videos/tutorials I’ve seen, this one explains it in the most clear and concise way ever. It made MVC’s process very easy to understand. Great job!

[@angiedale3647]

simply amazed of your simplicity in explanation of all topics !

[@WebDevSimplified]

Thank you! I am really glad it was easy to understand.

[@sublimeelectrons8699]

@@WebDevSimplified i salute and appreciate you brother. You are a natural teacher. You made every topic easy.. Please don't stop your passion.. You are a blessing and you are helping me a lot..

[@SherryTheNerd]

this is awesome! it's easy to understand with the cat example :) i've read numerous articles about MVC, but I could understand none of them! thank u soooo much

[@larisasilva1836]

K.

[@souravsharma6092]

Think is a hidden treasure. I struggled a lot with the topics as they go quite fast in the classes. But here it is short and thorough as well. One of the most satisfying explanations. Thank you very much

[@bugfacedog44]

It upsets me how convoluted this has been explained to me repeatedly compared to how simple it really is. I always heard the model = database and the view = client, and that is just a garbage explanation all around. This explanation is so clear that it is now obvious to me that the people in the past that have tried to explain it to me, including professors, just didn't understand it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@ambition415]

Why is it incorrect to say that "the model = database and view = client"? I thought I understood this video, and it doesn't seem to contradict this? Just looking to understand. Thanks!

[@arcan762]

I think this confusion came up when clients started doing client side rendering for SPAs, where now the client (browser) is in charge of rendering it's own view, based on the data passed to it from the controller, as opposed to server rendered pages of the past (think PHP) where the browser was sent the view already rendered.

[@MrNll004]

You never fail to impress me with the way you simplify complex topics and make them digestible. I've found that software developers love overcomplicating everything

[@TheVentureaaron]

One of the best explanations of MVC I've seen. I appreciate how you devoted some time to covering why MVC came around and where it fits in. This is the kind of video everyone should watch before starting any MVC class/training. Get the high level, and then dive in. Fantastic job.

[@aueinstein]

I recommended this video to several friends that have issues understanding the MVC architecture. None was disappointed. Thank you

[@nanibanani7560]

this is what i like , short and on point. no music, no nonsense speech , no insulting and stuff like that.. well done

[@michaeljaycastillo1839]

the most precious 4 mins of my life to understand MVC 😇 I'm trying to learn Yii2 but I'm overwhelemed with MVC thing. Glad I found this video 😇

[@wanderingfido]

I appreciate the simplicity. It's much needed among all the countless video tutorials we find on KZbin. However, could there be a Part II in a separate video explaining how to incorporate the Observer Pattern into MVC?

[@44r0n-9]

sometimes it's astounding how much better some youtube videos are than lectures.

[@chrislam8442]

A quick but detailed explanation! Thanks!

[@WebDevSimplified]

You're welcome!

[@jojobobo1815]

its rare that a simpleton like me can understand concepts immediately but you made this one easy. You're a great teacher and have helped me alot in my journey, thanks!

[@davadh]

This is great! Too many people explain MCV as this overly complicated smart process that changes how you create websites, when in fact, it's so much simpler

[@perlagisselleoki9111]

Thank you SO much for this. I've read so much documentation on this and none of it felt like it was in english. You explained in 4 mins what i've been trying to understand for a whole day.

[@sydpao2224]

Other videos about MVC ranges from 1hr to 3 hrs in length… this one, I got all I need and straight to the point.

[@OberynPinkViper]

Thank you for the simple explanation. I was completely lost when my lecturer introduced the MVC Patttern at the beginning of the Semester, and this video helps to understand the basics of MVC.

[@SebLeCaribou]

Simple and concise explaination; it's the one I'm sending the interns fresh out of bootcamps when they ask about the theory behind MVC. I think what can be confusing when you first think about this model, is the fact that the user is not interacting with the controller, but with the view. Like, technically speaking, when web-apps are concerned, you are sending and receiving stuff using the controller. But you interact with the interface, click on buttons using the view that is rendered. Which can wrongfully give you the idea that you are using the View to communicate with the model.

[@Patso44]

I am working through a test project to understand how MVC works. Your explanation made it so much easier for me to understand what is going on with the program! Thank you very much! New subscriber here!

[@bogdanpristinsky1335]

The most clear explanation of the MVC pattern I ever seen. Thanks!

[@5uperM]

That is way better explained than dozens of explenations I've watched in the past.

[@auth2368]

Tried reading text book description... Immediately yt and found this. Thanks a bunch. Very clear.

[@gatormark]

Thank you so much. This is by far the simplest and most clear explanation I've viewed so far.

[@andrew915]

Lol.... I've heard MANY explanations on MVC and none of the was clear and concise like yours. Props to you. I'm sure you would make a great teacher in school.

[@FrankUnderwoood]

This is the best MVC explanation I've ever seen! I'm new to MVC because of PHP and this was incredibly helpful. Thanks Kyle! 😃

[@mucahitkahraman4666]

Man, despite many explanation on the youtube this is one of the best! Thanks a lot.

[@lailakandil2091]

This was an extremely complex concept to me and you explained it in literally 4 minutes so thank you!!!

[@mahirvahmad2149]

I have been studying Node Js for the last 3 months but for the first time only I understood the MVC idea very clearly, thanks dear

[@bobbysilver272]

What a lovely explanation. It is much appreciated. Keep going with your great tutorials.

[@ameer2942]

This is the best and simplest explanation!

[@mandyulat1933]

[@cole_mcconnell]

really loved the example on the end, made it so much more clear!

[@iglesiasleonardo1742]

Best explanation in the shortest time. In simple terms, in node.js, routes = controller, models = model and "dynamic views" = views

[@shraddhaverma6434]

Just went through the video before my interview. The best explanation

[@mr.webdev3700]

Great job! Very informative!

[@gamerforlife123100]

Thank you very much for the simple explanation!!! I was working for a company for 1.5 years and they failed to explain it so simple

[@AlexTechie]

I really enjoy going through your videos and filling in gaps of knowledge and finding stuff I've been wanting to learn. 👍

[@someoneleo230]

Man! You have just explained what out doctor tried to teach us in the last six months in 4 minutes. Amazing and thank you so much. Now Will have to translate that in bloody german just.

[@abimbolaogundipe2772]

Thanks for the simple and straightforward explanation.

[@Seetpion]

I wonder why so many people react like "Wow this is soo awesome!!!" although this very short and precious super video is ... actually NOT showing MVC. Like a CZRaS mentioned, this is MVP not MVC.

[@liiapavlenko8138]

Could you explain more about it?)

[@michaelantoniobutler3846]

Thanks! - I'm currently on my first co-op, learning .Net development. Your explanation was really helpful!
