Web application development

Back at its early stages, the Internet was limited for military, university and research facility use only. When the government decided to release it for civilian use, there were fears among the professionals of these fields that it would hinder the usability of the Internet since it could be overwhelmed with millions of new users. However, the opposite has occurred. Increased demand of this new service put pressure on communication carries to improve the capacity, reliability and cost efficiency of the Internet (Deitel, et al., 2012). Such rapid improvement is a substantial part of why World Wide Web and web applications exist.

The term web based applications usually means programs which run in a web browser (Dissanayake, et al., 2018). According to Deitel (et al., 2012) they are often divided into separate groups:

• Bottom tier, which preserves the application's information.
• Middle tier, that "controls interactions between the application’s clients and its data".
• Top tier, which displays graphical user interface. It gathers input and responds to user's actions.

 (Deitel et al., 2012)
