What's 3-tier architecture?

3-tier architecture is a design pattern applicable to web/CGI development.The main purpose of VBMcgi is to support isolation of the presentation tier from the business rules tier. In practical terms, this means that you can change the appearance of a site or web application without having to update the CGI software or any business rules.
