What is a web application?

 

A web application (web app) is a software program that is accessed using a web browser. Web applications are delivered on the World Wide Web to users with an active network connection.

Web applications are typically stored on a remote server and delivered over the internet through a browser interface. This means that users can access them from anywhere with an internet connection, without having to install any software on their own devices.

Web applications are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional desktop applications. For example, web applications are:

  • More accessible: Web applications can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, on any device with a web browser.
  • Easier to maintain: Web applications are typically easier to maintain and update than desktop applications, as all changes can be made to the server without having to update the software on each user's device.
  • More scalable: Web applications can be easily scaled up or down to meet the needs of more or fewer users, by simply adding or removing servers.

Some examples of web applications include:

  • Search engines (e.g., Google, Bing, Yahoo!)
  • Social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)
  • Online shopping platforms (e.g., Amazon, eBay, Walmart)
  • Email clients (e.g., Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo! Mail)
  • Web-based office suites (e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365)
  • Online games
  • Web-based development tools

Web applications play an important role in our lives today, and they are used by people all over the world for a wide variety of purposes.
