Fat
A fat client, also known as a rich client or thick client, is a client that performs the bulk of any data processing operations itself, and does not necessarily rely on the server. The fat client is most common in the form of a personal computer, as the personal computers or laptops can operate independently.
Programming languages and/or development tools for rich clients typically include Delphi, .NET Framework, Java and Visual Studio.
