Request for basic networking advice

[CyberDuke]

Hi, I am newish to Network programming in .NET

I have currently been developing applications where the client interacts directly with the database (which has been working fine in small scale environments)

But I wanted to play about with 3-tier ideas to gain performance and scalability

So far I have been looking at serializing a data object and using sockets to send the xml string across the network. But I have been told that

You may want to also investigate web services as an alternate to remoting as this removes the client side requirements and doesnt impose some of the strange restrictions that remoting does.
