From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_view_controller

The view renders the model into a form suitable for interaction, typically a user interface element. Multiple views can exist for a single model for different purposes.

The controller receives input and initiates a response by making calls on model objects.


Many design patterns take a while to digest. you have to study them from multiple sources and try them out in code. I have a personal wiki where I put info on design patterns as I study them and figure them out.
