The Model-View-Controller Paradigm
• Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a very logical way of dividing the code that makes up a GUI-based application.
• The MVC pattern divides all functionality into three distinct categories:– Model: The classes that hold your application’s data.– View: Made up of the windows, controls, and other
elements that the user can see and interact with.– Controller: The code that binds together the model
and view. It contains the application logic that decides how to handle the user’s inputs.

Outlets and Actions
• A controller class can refer to objects in a nib file by using a special kind of property called an outlet.
• interface objects in nib file can be set up to trigger special methods in controller class. These special methods are known as action methods.
