13.1. MVC History
The MVC design pattern has been around since 1979 when it was first described by Trygve Reenskaug, who was working on a language called Smalltalk at Xerox. Trygve called his idea "Thing Model View Editor," which I think we can all agree really wasn't as catchy as MVC. Although Trygve's vision was quite different from ASP.NET's implementation of MVC, most people agree that Trygve's vision kicked everything off. You can read Trygve's original idea at http://folk.uio.no/trygver/1979/mvc-1/1979-05-MVC.pdf.
