Here's what this is all about....

I got hired at a new job. They sent me a link to this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx and they asked me
to be familiar with it.

The article says that the Model-View-ViewModel pattern is base off the Model-View-Presenter pattern, which is in turn based off
the Model-View-Controller pattern. So I was reading all these articles trying to understand some history and also to understand
the terminolgy.

I get that the Model is the database, and from what I can see the View is the UI. But some portions of these articles seem to
seperate the UI into more than one part.

Then there's the Presenter and Controller. From what I can see they represent events occuring somewhere.

I'm a bit lost here.
