    • Client-Server, from dBASE to JAVA

      Source: George Schussel Published: Mar 1996 It was the purpose of this article to explain how a “Client/Server” architecture is really a fundamental enabling approach that provides a flexible approach for migrating to new technologies like Web enabled computing. The old paradigm of host centric, time shared computing had given way to the new client/server approach, which was message based and modular.
