Well technically most backend server MVC frameworks are using the Front Controller pattern. This is perfectly fine MVC though of course different from event driven, which matches a desktop application or JS based MVC. Really this is just spitting hairs. The Front Controller pattern is perfectly suited to a non-event driven (node) backend system like rails or Zend framework, etc. Essentially the front controller is a router, similar to Backbone.js using hashbangs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Controller_pattern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Controller_pattern
