Web Applications

Web applications, also known as cloud computing, or remote software, has been steadily increasing in use and popularity. Business owners, both small and large, as well as the home user can benefit by using Web Apps to their full advantage. Common web applications include webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis and many others.

Web applications are becoming more popular due to the convenience of using a web browser as a client to run the software. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity, as is the inherent support for cross-platform compatibility.
