The Big Picture: Software Architecture

Frontend Architecture Patterns Timeline

1. Classic MVC → Original pattern for GUIs (1970s–80s).
2. Modern MVC → Web adaptation (1990s–2000s) for stateless apps.
3. MVP → Evolved for more control & testability in complex UI apps.
4. MVVM → Further evolution for reactive, data-bound frameworks.

Evolution of Patterns

• Patterns themselves change with time.
• Classic MVC → adapted to Modern MVC for web.
• MVP → evolved into MVVM in reactive UI frameworks.
• Layered Architecture now often combined with Clean Architecture.
