What is a web application?

A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. The term may also

mean a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported programming language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable.

Why do we build web apps?

So people can do their jobs without worrying

about IT stuff

Web-based software is safer

Everything together in one place

Users are always using the latest and greatest

Users can work from home, work, or on the

road

There’s nothing to install, ever
