Hi,

I was wondering if there was any information about how to design and create
a client-Server application?? The few articles i have found are not very
good....

Regards

Darryn
 
We don't use the term anymore... it's background noise.

Honestly, we use the term "rich client" to refer to applications that have
functionality at the client, which is what we used to mean when we used the
term "client server applications."

Nearly every reference for a windows client application is usually referring
to a client/server app (unless they make reference to web services.
Unfortunately, too few resources show how to use WS correctly).

So, the reason you haven't found any info: nearly every windows client app
that refers to a database using ADO is a client / server app... it's so
commonplace that no one uses the term anymore.

See the "Layers" pattern from Buschmann.

Hope this helps,
