Q

Describe N-Tier Applications?

A

Many applications have a Front-End or a User Interface (UI) tier, such as a website that runs on a web server. Client devices connect to the front-end tier, using a web browser. The UI tier running on the web server might then communicate with a middle-tier software component running on a different server, which in turn might read and write data to a back-end tier hosting DB servers.

Q

File Type?

A

Each application has a default format for it’s data files.
In Windows, a Files Type is specified by its extension, which is a code (usually 3 characters but not always) that follows the filename, separated by a period.
In other OS, the file type is determined by the OS looking inside the file for that information, so a file’s extension, if it has one, is not a reliable way to determine a files actual type.
