Overview
This is a quick overview of some of the technical concepts we'll cover in this book.
Template Engine
A template engine is software that is designed to process web templates and to produce the user interface output of web documents. PHP is, itself, an example of a web template engine.
Model View Controller
A Model View Controler (MVC) is a simply a software pattern or style of programming. The pattern isolates programming logic from the user interface, permitting independent development, testing and maintenance of each (separation of concerns).
The goal of MVC is to reduce the complexity in design and to increase flexibility and maintainability of code.
