Pattern Name

The first thing MVC stands for is name for a category of patterns that somehow separate the model from the rest. There are many things to do it, each of them suitable for different user interface. Each of such patterns however keeps model independent from the rest - e.g. model does not know anything about its presentation or business logic.

Classical MVC

Designed in 70ties. Strictly separates view and controller. The view can for example be a printer, the controller can be a punch card reader and interpreter. Obviously separating these two is easy. Not only they are physically independent, but also the delay between producing of output and receiving input can be significant. The whole idea can be illustrated as:

The user reads from the view and deals directly with the controller.
