What is a Web Application?
A Web application is an application delivered to users from a Web server over a network such as the Internet or an intranet.
Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of the Web browser as a client, sometimes called a thin client. The ability to update and maintain Web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity.
Web applications are used to implement webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, discussion boards, weblogs and perform many other functions.
