revigniter - Model-View-Controller in Rev terms?

[Sarah Reichelt]

I haven't tried revIgniter yet, although I intend to. But my grasp of
MVC comes from Objective-C and k assume it is much the same regardless
of language.

View: as out say, this is what the use sees - the interface.
Model: this is the data structure and the data itself.
Controller: the bit in between that reacts to user input or events and
gets data from the model and presents it to the view, altering it if
required. So the Controller is where the scripts go.

Hopefully someone with a better grasp of these concepts than me, will
be able to step in here if I have got it wrong.

Cheers,
Sarah
