Question 1

What do architectural patterns contribute to the design process?

Answer 1

An architectural pattern defines a specific approach for handling some characteristic of the system.

Question 2

Explain the key differences between thin client architectures and a rich client architectures.

Answer 2

For mobile devices or web apps using thin client only the user interface layer is implemented on the device,A rich client typical allocates the user interface layer,business layer,and often the data layer too on the user's device.
