The Return of 3-Tier Architecture - RIA Services with Brad Abrams

Summary

This episode of Hanselminutes discusses Rich Internet Application Services (RIAS) with Brad Abrams, focusing on simplifying multi-tier application development within the .NET ecosystem. The conversation highlights a common practice of two-tier applications where UI directly accesses databases and contrasts this with the benefits of a more layered and tiered architecture to improve application structure and efficiency. The practical takeaway is that RIAS aims to make building these more robust, multi-tier applications significantly easier for developers.
