The exact definition of Web Applications would be ‘any application accessed over a computer network’. The most prominent computer network that these applications run on is the internet. But the term ‘web’ does not limit the platforms for the applications. These applications may also be made to function on the intranet. Having a browser-controlled environment, the software being combined with a browser-rendered or coded in a browser-supported language helps to execute the application on the platform.

The reason for the popularity of Web Applications is the adaptability and variability of the web browsers. Moreover, the usage of the web browser as a client also helps a lot in that regard. The bigger reason for the popularity of Web Applications is the possibility of updating and maintaining web applications without requiring the distribution and installation of supporting software. This means that thousands of client computers can get direct benefits from it and also take advantage of the inherent cross-compatibility support possibility. All these possibilities ensure that web interfaces burden client functionality with very few limitations.

The Web Applications that are most popular are the simple office software including word processors, presentation tools, online spreadsheets, etc. Such simple applications are provided by the popular Google Documents applications. Other advanced web applications include computer-aided design, video-editing, project management and point-of-sale.

The advent of technologies like DHTML, Silverlight, Flash, Java and JavaScript have made possible several application-specific methods like playing audio and video, drawing on the screen, access to the mouse and keyboard, etc. Sometimes several applications are combined to make the interface work like an operating system. ‘Drag and drop’ functionality are also supported by these interface. In order to add functionality and create an interactive experience, page reloading isn’t required. Client-side scripting adds functionality to the interface also.

An interactive experience can only be created through web development techniques utilizing a combination of different technologies.
