Re: Discussion - Web vs Client Server

I have the opinion that ywhen you're working with a WEB IFace, you have to stop thinking "Client server" and start thinking n-tier. Your business logic (Say COM+ or CORBA) does all the database stuff and pass it through to your presentation layer. (WEB, DELPHI, KYLIX etc.etc)

Fast, easy and flexible.
