An Introduction to Smart Clients
Back in the day (1960-1980), there were no personal computers – only mainframes (server) and dumb terminals (workstation). The applications were completely dependent on the server for the interface, business logic behind the interface, and the database. This was great for developers and network administrators in that a change to the program affected all users instantly without requiring any new software to be installed. At the same time, the interface was limited relying on the server for everything created unneeded high demand.
