## Model-View-Controller
The model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and its relatives HMVC and MVVM lets you break up code into logical objects that serve very specific purposes. Models serve as a data access layer where data is fetched and returned in formats usable throughout your application. Controllers handle the request, process the data returned from models and load views to send in the response. And views are display templates (markup, xml, etc) that are sent in the response to the web browser.

PHP supports first-class functions, meaning that a function can be assigned to a variable. Both user-defined and built-in
functions can be referenced by a variable and invoked dynamically. Functions can be passed as arguments to other
functions and a function can return other functions (a feature called higher-order functions).
