 Concept of web application.
A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a
network such as the Internet or intranet.
In contrast, Web applications use web documents written in a
standard format such as HTML and JAVA Script which is supported by
variety of web browsers.
 Webpage and Website
Webpage: A web page is a document that is suitable for the
World Wide Web and web browsers.
Website: A website is a collection of related web pages, including
multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name,
and published on at least one web server.
 Static and Dynamic website
Static Website: Static means unchanged or constant. Therefore, static web pages contain
the same prebuilt content each time the page is loaded. Standard HTML pages are Static.
Each time a static page is loaded, it looks the same. Static Web pages display the exact same
information whenever anyone visits it.
If the pages file extension is “.htm” or “.html” the page is probably static.
Dynamic Website: Dynamic means changing or lively. Dynamic Web pages are capable of
producing different content for different visitors from the same source file. Dynamic pages
contain “Server side” code, which allows the server to generate unique content each time
the page is loaded. For example the server may display the current time and date on the
web page.
If the pages file extension is “.php” or “.asp” or “.jsp” the page is most likely dynamic.
 Basic structure of a website
The structure of a website is composed of different sections and
navigation within those sections. It is a framework that shapes our
sites and navigation scheme.
Basic website structure contains three sections as following:
Homepage
Main section
Sub sections
 Client Server Architecture
Client/server architecture is a producer/consumer computing architecture where the
server acts as the producer and the client as a consumer.
Client/server architecture works when the client computer sends a resource or process
request to the server over the network connection, which is then processed and
delivered to the client.
