Why do I use MVC design pattern in ash.MVC? Also what are the highlights of ash.MVC framework?

MVC, Model-View-Controller, is a successful design pattern (a set of general rules regulating the program design and implementation process to achieve a programming task). The design of PHP language, particularly PHP5, encourages MVC pattern. So, we adopt MVC – it is as simple as that.

In the recommendations of this new framework using MVC pattern, effort has been made to incorporate a generic approach towards application development, and simple and easy-to-understand set of guidelines. Highlights of ash.MVC are:

1. No proprietary templating; instead, simple PHP print statements, simple loops or control statements are used. It is to be noted that adopting a proprietary templating rules requires higher learning curve and time.
2. A few broad guidelines are provided about adopting folder structure, naming and coding conventions. This helps to make the communication between programmers using ash.MVC framework easier (to avoid chaotic situation resulting from individual preferences and coding styles), and above all, it helps to keep code base readable, maintainable and clean.
3. Clear and easy-to-learn schemes are provided for critical areas of application development like security, user authentication, control of data flow, and scalability.
4. The framework guidelines are applicable in case of developing searchable public web pages too.
