Define web based application

Web applications run through a web browser like Internet Explorer, rather than on the desktop like MS Word.

On a basic website pages are static. Web application pages interact with users requesting and responding to users. The most common example is online shopping application.

Web applications typically use a database to store permanent information such as product descriptions and costs, and customer orders.

Web Applications deliver many business benefits compared to office based solutions.

Benefits & Drawbacks of Web Application

Drawbacks:› Slower, as run over the internet › Interfaces not as sophisticated› Can take longer to develop as they are

more complex, have to work on different browsers, and different versions of browsers.

› Security risks: The company can theoretically track anything the users do. This can cause privacy problems
