Re: Discussion - Web vs Client Server

You can solve most problems with either architecture. I think the main thing with either architecture is to properly partition you application into GUI and Business Logic components. Matter of fact, with a properly partitioned application you can support both client/server and web clients and reuse a majority of your code.

Aside from the above, I can make only two distinctions between the two architectures.

1. Client/server gives you richer GUI design.
2. The thin web client (aka browser) is easier to deploy.
