I never heard rails MVC and 3-tier architecture used in the same sentence before in all my readings. i just thinking of MVC as a design pattern separating areas of concerns. I had to look at the definition for 3-tier architecture and it said this about the two: At first glance, the three tiers may seem similar to the model-view-controller (MVC) concept; however, topologically they are different. A fundamental rule in a three tier architecture is the client tier never communicates directly with the data tier; in a three-tier model all communication must pass through the middleware tier. Conceptually the three-tier architecture is linear. However, the MVC architecture is triangular: the view sends updates to the controller, the controller updates the model, and the view gets updated directly from the model. Multitier architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture Model–View–Controller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93View%E2%80%93Controller -- Kind Regards, Rajinder Yadav | http://DevMentor.org | Do Good! - Share Freely -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
