week 10 web application...

This week was a normal Friday on the thirty of Mach. Three weeks before this we did not study in class so for that day I came to the again as usual. So this week I learnt about web application. In fact I use and expose it every day but I did not know what exactly web application is. So let I explore more details about web application.
A web application is any application that uses a web browser as a client. The application can be as simple as a message board or a guest sign-in book on a website, or as complex as a word processor or a spreadsheet.
What are the Benefits of a Web Application?
A web application relieves the developer of the responsibility of building a client for a specific type of computer or a specific operating system. Since the client runs in a web browser, the user could be using an IBM-compatible or a Mac. They can be running Windows XP or Windows Vista. They can even be using Internet Explorer or Firefox, though some applications require a specific web browser.
Web applications commonly use a combination of server-side script (ASP, PHP, etc) and client-side script (HTML, Javascript, etc.) to develop the application. The client-side script deals with the presentation of the information while the server-side script deals with all the hard stuff like storing and retrieving the information.
The next step our lecturer gave more details and we focused more on web application 2.0. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media. This one we can easily approach it in our daily life and I believe that nowadays people are using them. For examples, Facebook, Twister, blogger and wikis, and so no. That’s all for this week……………………thank you……………………..
