MVC stands for model, view, controller. The idea behind this pattern is to separate your different concerns, to make testing and managing your website easier. Historically, when developers have worked with Umbraco they have broken this paradigm. If you have been passing in the IPublishedContent and then wiring up your properties within your views, you have in effect been muddling your HTML with your code.

A better approach is to pass in a strongly-typed C# model into your views. All the code and logic required to get the data needed to render page data on your page should be done in the controller level - or at a minimum - the model level. You should avoid doing logic in your views. Even though it is possible to do this, you are in effect breaking the MVC pattern. One of the reasons MVC was adopted, is to make maintaining your website easier. Every time you break the MVC approach, you will make your website that much harder to test and maintain later on.

In this section, you will learn everything you need in order for you to use MVC correctly in your website by following the correct principles of MVC
