14. MVVM
• “The Model View ViewModel (MVVM) is
an architectural pattern used in software
engineering that originated from Microsoft as a
specialization of the Presentation Model design
pattern introduced by Martin Fowler.[1] Largely
based on the Model-view-controller pattern (MVC),
MVVM is targeted at modern UI development
platforms (Windows Presentation
Foundation and Silverlight) in which there is a User
Experience (UX) developer who has different
requirements than a more “traditional” developer
(i.e. oriented toward business logic and back
end development).” – Wiki entry on MVVM
