So, what is a web application?

A Web Application is a computer program that takes advantage of web browsers and web technology to perform tasks over the internet which in layman terms is known as a WEBSITE.

Overview about web application

Millions of businesses across the globe usethe Internet as a cost-effective communications channel to interact with their customers.It lets them exchange information with their target market with fast and secure transactions. However, productiveinvolvement is only possible when the business is able to find and store all the necessary data, and have a way of processing this stored data and showing the results to the user. Web applications use a combination of server-sided scripts (like PHP and ASP) to handle the storage and fetching of information, and client-side scripts (like JavaScript and HTML) to show information to users. This allows the users to establish a contact with the company using online forms, content management systems, shopping carts and more. In addition, these applications allows the employees of the to create relevant documents, share intended information, collaborate on different projects, and work on common documents regardless of their location or device.

Working Of Web Applications

Web applications are typically coded in browser-supported language like JavaScript and HTML as these languages admit the browser to fetch executable programs.

Here’s what a web application work-flow looks like:

1. User sends a request to the web server over the Internet, either through a web browser such as Google chrome
2. Web server forwards this request to the concerned web application server
3. Web application server performs the intended task – such as querying the database or processing the data – then generates the results of the requested data
4. Web application server reverts with results to the web server with the requested information or processed data
5. Web server responds back to the user with the requested information that then appears on the user’s display

Here’s all you need to learn web development if you don’t know where to start?

So, depending on your background, you might be pondering where to start learning web development. Well, don’t worry! You’re not alone, Google can be your best friend as well as your stern enemy. It all depends on how you sue it!

Start with the end in mind.

One of the first things I recommend doing before you start learning web development is to decide a clear end goal, and keep it in mind till the end. Maybe you want to make a career change or maybe you have a wicked idea for an amazing app or maybe you just want to learn it for fun. What so ever your goal is, it is very important to understand why you are doing this. This understanding will help you to be more productive with your learning time. It will also help in encouraging you through those times when you feel like giving up.

Assuming you have no sort of previous experience in coding, it is a good idea in the beginning itself to decide if your interest is inclined towards back-end or front-end development. Let me briefly explain the difference:

Front-End

This is what the user see and use on the page. It’s all the design, fancy effects, layout and imagery that creates the touch, look and feel.Generally front-end developers will be visuallycreative with excellent design skills and strong command over the colors and imagery. Technologies usually related to front-end web development are HTML, CSS, jQuery and JavaScript.

Back-end

this is the part that usually generates, processes, stores, and converts data. It is how the website or application works. Back-end developers are generally superb problem solvers and logical thinkers who have an interest in the functionality of a website or application. Back-end development is usually associated with server-sided languages such as PHP, Python, and Ruby.

Wherever your interest lies, the best way to start is by learning basic HTML and CSS. After all, it doesn’t really matter what area of development that you want to work in, you need to be able to display it on a webpage in some kind of presentable format.

Once you have finished with that, congratulations! You have now started on your web development journey.

It’s time to practice now. This may seem really difficult in the beginning. It’s hard to cope up time when you have a full time job, or attending school, or a partner, or kids demanding all of your attention.
