Gentle Giant coding his way through life

Nothing brings me greater joy than finding innovative and reliable solutions to complex problems. I love that software engineering asks each of us to show up each day and unlock a new piece of the puzzle. Prior to web development I ran my own successful e-commerce brand for over a decade. During that time I learned communication is important above all - both amongst team members and with customers. Communicating more effectively required me to dig deeper into the technologies we used which began my passion for software engineering. When I am not coding you can find me tending to my garden, engrossed in a novel, or hiking the beautiful mountains of Southern Arizona.

I love this article. Thank you, [Eric](https://hashnode.com/@gentlegiantdev) for posting it! Is the MVC model applicable in any kind of application?

I read somewhere that it is only applicable to web applications. if yes, then what are the architecture models for other types of applications?

Hi Bilal. Thank you for your kind words!

MVC lends itself easily to web applications but it is used in other types of development as well.

As for architectural models, this blog is a nice primer: [towardsdatascience.com/10-common-software-archite…](https://towardsdatascience.com/10-common-software-architectural-patterns-in-a-nutshell-a0b47a1e9013)

Phew. Well that's just what I needed to hear.

I've made a lot of programs in the past, and without Google they wouldn't be nearly as good as they are now, or they wouldn't have been finished at all.

Same here! And Stack Overflow, MDN, 100Devs discord...We all depend on that community knowledge.
