Architecture
-
Hi, We are in the process of building a new enterprise application, that would comprise of an Oracle database, and a VB.NET application. Now my request to you all is to suggest the optimal architecture, in terms of technology, stability, maintenance, etc, bearing in mind that we would like to have a multi-tier application, with a thin client, and 1 to n business/persistence layers. The application would be used by users who might be geographically separated. Would appreciate your inputs on: Winforms Vs ASP.NET? Communication, Data persistence, Performance, Any other criterion that you might consider important. Your inputs would be highly appreciated. Cheers/RB

Definitely WinForms if you want it to be a thick client app (Or you could use WPF). Go for ASP.net if you want it to run in a browser.
Communication
Yes, I would include some.
Data persistence
Probably a good idea, but not necessary if your users have very good memories.
Performance
The faster you make it the better.
Any other criterion that you might consider important.
It shouldn't crash too much if possible.

If you can't decide this based on client needs, then you're too stupid to write this thing, just like you're too stupid not to cross post this question.

Then why did you ask about data persistence ?

Sounds to me like you read an old copy of MSDN on the toilet while waiting for someone to accept your rentacoder bid, and you know lots of buzzwords and not much about programming.

I don't know why, but I always laugh when someone combines the two phrases "enterprise application" and "vb.net", and then, when it really dawns on me that it just persists the notion that VB.Net is a viable development platform, I throw up a little in my mouth.

Do you have actual functional requirements for this thing or just a list of technologies you want to use?

Yeah - it's not VB...

Hello, my name is Rajeesh, the incompetent SW engineer, who is now shitting himself because he actually has to design something instead of talking about how good he is all day. If you cant do the job then bugger off and do something else, like be a pharamacist, or something. But dont ecpect us to design your crappy product for you.

Yeah, but, your still going to design my crappy product for me right? I mean, I haven't even thought of the product yet and I'm not even going to write the thing once you've come up with the idea and then designed it. By then you'll have invested so much into it you may as well write it for me. Then just ship the working product, with website and marketing sorted to me and we'll all be happy.

Yeah. I cant believe people here actually help these lazy bastards. If you cant properly form the question, you havent thought hard enough. And when you do define the quesiton you have almost answered it. I have a mate who is a PM for a big European firm. THey have had increasing targets to offshore their product developement. And the product has increasing got worse and worse.

Yes, but when am I going to get my bright new shiny product?

Well, if you want multi-tier, you should make sure there's a computer on every floor of the building. Networked is optional. Thin client: hmmm, I think you're violating some discrimination laws there. 1 to n business / persistence layers: Definitely seems like your primary customer should be the government then, as gov't's have nearly infinite layers and save everything. I would suggest you look at the IRS for a good business model example.
