Hands down the best explanation of MVC I've ever seen anywhere, is in
this iTunes U series (item 43 at the bottom of the list) - you can just
grab the slides too, but you'll miss all the emotion and humor of the
delivery :-)

There seems to be some basic pieces that are commonly missing from most
descriptions of MVC:
- Models have model data, broadcast changes to listening controllers,
are updated directly by the controller.
- Views have view data, data that is specific to the view, are updated
directly by the controller, broadcast changes to listening controllers.
- Models shouldn't communicate with Views (ever).
- Views shouldn't communicate with Models (ever).
A lot of examples of MVC I've seen take a shortcut and basically send
the model data to a view which renders that data, but that isn't MVC at all.
