Model-View-Presenter and its implementation in ASP.NET - Part 1
Beginning today, we are launching a short series focused on the Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern in ASP.NET. Our goal is to offer a thorough overview, explaining what it entails, why it's worth considering for improved maintainability and testability, and outlining its potential limitations.
Automated testing has indeed become crucial in modern applications, and developers are increasingly aware of its importance throughout the software lifecycle. However, not all aspects of an application can be thoroughly tested, with UI components and pages often requiring manual creation. This process is both time-consuming and prone to errors. To address this challenge, several design patterns emerged in the early 1990s, aimed at reducing these difficulties and providing alternative solutions.
In this brief series, we will explore one of these key design patterns: Model-View-Presenter (MVP). We will examine how this pattern shifts most of the business logic to specific objects (known as presenters), while treating the UI (the view) as a simple, passive element. Our aim is to demonstrate these concepts through a straightforward Blazor application.

The following textbooks prove useful on this topic.
Without further ado and as usual, let's begin with a few prerequisites to correctly understand the underlying concepts.
