Welcome to WebApp Technologies!

Web applications are applications accessed by a web browser through a network such as the internet or intranet. Web applications are becoming very popular because of the omnipresence, simplicity, and easily accessible web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, ect). Web applications have many benefits to them, making them much more appealing. Web applications require little to no disk space on a user's computer, generally do not require any software installs or updates, and usually update automatically when needed. Another benefit to having a web driven application is the fact that they are cross browser compatible. This means it does not matter if a user is running Windows, Mac, or Linux; a web application will run the same on all platforms.

There are many different technologies that allow web applications to be possible. Web applications can be broken into three major components. The first component is the web browser itself. A user will need some sort of web browser to access the application itself. The second component is the web programming technology that provides both the user interface to the web browser and the communication bridge to the database. The third component is the database in which the application dynamically accesses and stores information.

Here are some of the popular technologies used in each of the components of any given web application:

Web Browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome
Web Programming Tools: ASP, ASP.NET, CGI, ColdFusion, JSP/Java, Javascript, PHP, Ajax, Flash, Perl, Python, Ruby
Web Databases: SQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2
