How Evolved is MVC?
Not quite, said people from Microsoft PAG.
Enterprise Solution Patterns Using Microsoft .NET provided readers with clear, easy to understand evolution of a web architecture. From single, all-in page code (a.k.a. code beside), evolves to MVC, evolves to Page Controller, evolves to Front Controller, evolves to Intercepting Filter. Add Page Cache, and you'll have an almost complete web framework architecture.
Where's your web framework's at?
(I've been using CakePHP for the last two months, and placed that on the state between Front Controller and Intercepting Filter, although from developer POV, it's still mostly at MVC.)
