My name is Kenneth Jones. I develop web applications and also teach IT courses where we teach students how to program in different languages. My blog is about how to develop web applications in Java, PHP, Python.

A web application is software that runs in a web browser. Companies need to exchange information and provide services remotely. They use web applications to easily and securely communicate with customers. The most common website features, such as shopping carts, product search and filtering, instant messaging, and social media news feeds, are web-based applications by design. They allow you to access sophisticated functionality without installing or configuring software.

Web applications have a client-server architecture. Their code is divided into two components: client-side scripts and server-side scripts.

Web applications can come in handy to:

• Provide services to the user online: sell a product, sign up for an event, conduct courses and webinars.
• Solve a company’s internal tasks. Large organizations may need a web application to coordinate employees and build internal logistics. For example, web applications can be used to onboard new employees and set up work processes with contractors.
