Is MVC the industry standard for web development today?

The teacher's notes link to a Wikipedia page that says MVC goes back to the 70's. While changes have been made and non-MVC exists, does anything come even close to comparing with them in popularity?

My real question is, should I master MVC as the way to develop software today or are there alternatives I need to be aware of and learn as well?

Best,

Matt

MVC is one of the most frequently used web development framework to create scalable and extensible projects. It is considered a design pattern which are frequently executed and documented. MVC happens to be the most commonly used because of it has proven itself one of the most worthy design patterns documented. I would consider MVC to be one of the most frequently used and likely something to continue looking into.
