The basic idea behind all Model/View schemes, and there are several of them, is just this: draw a thick line between what your program does and how your program shows what it does. In other words, it's a compositional heuristic, guidance for how we break our problems into smaller problems. Give some objects/modules the responsibility for doing the work, and give other objects/modules the responsibility for showing the work. Tho it was originally conceived in the smalltalk world, there are many modern usages of the idea. Nearly all UI-centric frameworks take the Model/View split as their starting point.
