What Actually Is A Web Application?
A web application is any computer program that performs a specific function by using a web browser as its client. The application can be as simple as a message board or a contact form on a website or as complex as a word processor or a multi-player mobile gaming app that you download to your phone.
You might have question what Web Application actually is?
Web App?
In simple terms a program residing on server and end user accessing it via web clients (web browsers) are known as web application. The applications allow employees to create documents, share information, collaborate on projects and work on common documents regardless of location or device.
A web application or web app is a software or program that works in a
browser. It is created in different languages like CSS, HTML,
JavaScript, which are supported by browser. It is a popular and
convenient software or program because you can update your material
without disturbing your website’s clients or users. Google account, Microsoft 365, online retail sales, Facebook, Twitter Wikipedia, Online banking service are kind of web application. It requires some integrated tools, software and a compatible browser.
Web apps, on the other hand, focus on interactivity. As a result,
they will need different levels of user security, along with a complex
structure of workflows and other tools designed to help users take full
advantage of the app's capability. Content matters, but not in the same
way as it would for a website.
Website?
A website is typically considered a set of web pages viewed with a browser. Basically, this is meant to be a static set of pages that provides viewers with information; it’s a brochure website with limited or no ways for viewers to interact with it. One way to look at it is that a website is like a big conference that everyone can attend, but they have to sit and listen to the speaker without any ability to interact.
