Controllers in MVC

http://www.killersites.com In this video I talk a little about the MVC pattern in web application development, but the main concern of this video is on the 'controller' component.

Just in case you don't know, MVC is short for: Model View Controller.

Heh. I did my first semi-MVC hobby-project the past few days. When I got it all working today thought the controller wasn't reusable enough, and started rewriting it, only to make it way more complicated than it was originally. Eventually I gave up and decided I had to learn more about MVC.

From 3:03 I felt like I understood a whole lot more. Thanks.

Im definitely considered a noob...and I could not find for the life of me what connected HTML to Databases and how it all worked, I knew there was some sort of link missing. A MVC video helped but a 12 minute video took me 40 minutes to understand due to the guys Indian accent (he was smart but It was still hard!), and this really helps me along my way, PRICELESS! Ill be watching probably all of your videos. Yes all 425 lol

i like your videos because they just describe things i had to learn myself too. the best example is this controller video. model is the modular part of logic, while controller is just the "use" of that logic in the current application. this use may be completly different in another application. i never read something or found any information about that, but one day i just started to work that way. thx for the video :-)

@roadricus Cool! Glad you liked it.

I stopped watching when the word "irregardless" was used......that's not a word.
