Web Applications

Web applications are applications that can be accessed via an internet browser or on your intranet and include webmail system, internet auction sites or online retailers ecommerce application for example.

They allow users access from any computer, anywhere in the world, without the need to install additional software on each computer. Due to the fact that they are accessed via a web browser, they are also not tied to a specific platform (ie PC or Mac) or their specific operating systems.

Web applications can be easier for you to maintain, because they do not have to be deployed on to your own computers. This is particularly useful if you have a large user base, as this also allows your organisation to scale up their operations easily and with considerably less overheads than with traditional windows applications (that do have to be based on your individual computers).

Microsoft ASP.NET

Microsoft ASP.NET is a framework for creating dynamic and interactive web pages and web applications. ASP.NET can be used to create anything from small personal websites, through professional business systems, to large and complex multi-national web applications (including enterprise-class projects).

ASP.NET is a remote server side technology that does not need to be downloaded, but allows your application or project to have access to all of the multi-media possibilities and combinations in the ‘rich programming’ model of the Microsoft.net framework.

This technology also allows your applications to use numerous and multiple resources that are not typically available in your normal web browsers, for example a remote back-end database held in your organisation or elsewhere.
