Several of the
SCJA exam objectives (Section 7: Client Technologies) talk about the pros and cons of various types of thin clients vs fat clients, i.e.
* Describe at a high level the basic characteristics, benefits and drawbacks of creating thin-clients using HTML and JavaScript and the related deployment issues and solutions.
* Describe at a high level the basic characteristics, benefits, drawbacks, and deployment issues related to creating fat-clients using
Applets.
* Describe at a high level the basic characteristics, benefits, drawbacks, and deployment issues related to creating fat-clients using Swing.
This is an area I have found difficult to find study material for...maybe somone can suggest some study resources for this?
