I read all the computer press but am still confused.
What is the real adavantage of 3 tier architecture?
I'm thinking of learning a new application development product ( I
currently know Informix 4GL ) and originally thought of Visual Basic.
Yet, I have heard that this traditional 2 tier method is basically flawed
as the client is too "fat" ( all the code resides on client ) and the
newtwork gets overloaded over a ceratian number of users. In other words,
it cannot be really used for a large enterprise application. Also, it is
better to have business logic in a middle layer which could bve accessed
by many different clients products.
So what is best, SAP R3?, what advantage does this have over VB? Will VB
go 3-tier?
Any thoughts or commments would be greatly appreciated.
Please also reply to my email address, thank you.
