Know what? Matt might have an idea here.
I think I'll do this on one of my sites. Instead of putting all my code and
markup in one page, I'll separate it.
How's this, folks?
1. All HTML and Javascript go into pages rendered by the browser. (I might
call this the presentation layer.)
2. All Database commands and queries will go into a compiled application
running on an app server, called by the web pages. (I'll call this the,
um, data layer.)
3. All business logic - such as which databases (DB2/IMS/MSSQL/Oracle) - or
which employee calculations happen, or which building lookups - should go
inta another series of compiled applications on the same (or different)
application server. (I'll call this the 'business logic' layer.) In fact,
for speed, maybe I'll put these compiled apps on the new zOS server.
Hey, that sounds cool! What does everybody think?
