GOAL:
What is a distributable application?
GOAL:
Comparing client-server and distributed computing
FIX:
A distributable application is one in which the data access and business logic are separated from the User Interface.
This makes it possible to place the logic on a server closer to the data that it needs to access. This design also makes it possible to access the business logic from different types of clients.
The client is "thin" because it contains only the code necessary to manage the UI.
Comparing client-server and distributed computing
In client/server computing, the client runs the user interface and logic, and the server provides access to the database.
In distributed computing, the client runs only the user interface, and the server runs the logic as well as the data access.
