That's right! I am talking about Web applications. Web applications are the applications that run over the web or an Internet. There are some differences between website and web applications.

Difference between Websites and Web applications..

The main differences between websites and web applications are as under:
  • Websites:
    • Provide information as a static file.
    • Not very much interactive.
    • Don't allow the user to do transactions.
    • For example: news feeds, blogs, images etc.
  • Web applications:
    • Provide dynamic data.
    • Interactive rather than just informative.
    • Allow the user to do transactions.
    • For example: bidding sites, on-line shopping sites, mailing sites, facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia etc.

How do they work?

On an abstract and simple level, The client(web browser) sends an HTTP request to the server, and in the response the server provides the requested site. The response of a server could be a website or a web application. Server is the home of websites and web applications. (Udacity says)

  • HTML (Must in most of the cases)
