What is a web application?
A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. The term may also
mean a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported programming language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable.

Why do we build web apps?
So people can do their jobs without worrying
about IT stuff
Web-based software is safer
Everything together in one place
Users are always using the latest and greatest
Users can work from home, work, or on the

There’s nothing to install, ever
