Web Applications

A web application is software that runs on a server and is rendered by a client browser that accesses all of the application’s resources through the Internet.

A typical web application consists of the following components:

• Client: A client refers to the user interacting with the server by sending out requests.
• Server: The server is responsible for receiving client requests, performing appropriate tasks, and returning results to the clients. It bridges the front end and the stored data, allowing clients to perform operations on the data.
• Database: A database is where a web application’s data is stored. The data can be created, modified, and deleted depending on the client’s request.
