Architecture
BBj runs on the Java Virtual Machine on a server. Programmers can use the object-oriented syntax of the BBx or the BBj language, or access Java resources without restrictions. Its real 3-tier architecture makes BBj applications easy to maintain and deploy. BBj applications can be deployed to a Java-Swing-based GUI Thin Client, or a JavaScript-based Web Thin Client which does not require any JVM on the client device, from the same codebase. There is also a legacy ASCII thin client available.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider, and should be wise in season and not fetter himself with duties which will embitter his days and spoil him for his proper work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
