Web Applications: Client-Server Architecture

• A web application is a software program that runs on a web server.
• Unlike computer programs that run on a user's computer, web applications run on a web server.
• Web applications are based on client-server architecture.
• The client is the software that users access through a browser.
• The server is the software that provides the web application's functionality.
• The client and server communicate with each other using HTTP requests and responses.
• The key facts that a web application uses are stored on the server.

Test your knowledge of web applications and their client-server architecture. Learn about how web applications differ from computer programs, and how the client and server interact to provide functionality through HTTP requests and responses.
