• Storefronts• Auctions• Portals• Dynamic Pricing Models• Trading & Lending Models• B2B Exchanges & Services• Online News, Travel, Entertainment, Education

3 Important Server-Side Design Patterns

• Model-View-Controller

• Multi-Tier

• Container-Component

Model-View-Controller Architecture

• Model: Managing data and logic

• Controller: Executes user commands

• View: Displays data

• Principle: Application logic should independent of presentation logic.

Multi-Tier Architectures

• Single Tier (Mainframe)

• Two Tier (Client-Server)

• Three Tier (Application Servers)

• Four Tier (Web-based)

• N-Tier

Container-Component Architectures

• Component: A semi-autonomous object known to clients only through the interfaces it implements and the conventions it conforms to.

• Container: A program that provides an execution environment and lifecycle support for components.
