Client-server describes an application architecture in which the client requests an action or service from the provider
of service, the server. Consider a Web browser and a Web server. When you address a URL in the browser window,
it (client) requests a page from a Web server. The server returns an html page to the client, which parses the page
(data) and displays it on your computer.

When developing a client-server application, like the Web browser and Web server, you need to consider how you
are going to handle developing your application in a team environment and how you are going to handle long-term
maintenance. Developing client-server applications parallels developing modular programs. Modular programming
separates large applications into smaller constituent pieces to ease development in teams and provide better
maintainability. In a client-server application, a module does not have to be part of the same program or even run on
the same computer. Each modular function can run on a different device.

For contrast it is worth mentioning client/server applications as a form of remote computing, although
strictly speaking they are not "remote guis" as I have defined them here.

A client/server application is a piece of software that runs on a client computer and makes requests to a
remote server. Many such applications are written in high-level visual programming languages where UI,
forms, and most business logic reside in the client application. Often such applications are database
applications that make database queries to a remote central database server (this can, however, get
much more complicated than that and involve other communication methods)

In a database application, data related number crunching can occur on the remote database server where
the processing is close to physical data. An example of a database query might be to return the sum of a
field named "dollar amount" where the field name year is "2001". There may be hundreds of thousands of
records but the client computer does not have to worry about fetching or sorting through all of them itself.
The database server will sort through that and just return one small record with the result to the client.
