This note focuses on creating controllers—algorithms, in coding speak. These essentially are the logic that tells the software what to do and how to respond to inputs from the user. This note assumes some familiarity with the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, which is the idea that a given application can be usefully decomposed into a data model, a set of user views, and a set of controllers that implement the application's behavior. This note is part of a series focused on helping MBAs acquire (1) a foundational understanding of how to go from design to code, and (2) a smooth transition to hands-on practice to improve their intuition and creative confidence around the process.
