Any software applications come into two flavors: stand alone applications and web based applications. Standalone applications are usually expensive, especially when we consider the true cost of ownership, which includes high cost items like installation, up gradation of PCs, and training. The Internet boom promised end users efficient access to a host of business critical information on any device, creating a widespread trend towards Web-based applications with browser-based user interfaces. Web based applications allow to link people and data in new and more effective ways, and at a lower cost, in ways that were never possible using standalone software. Web applications are easier to use, and look more attractive than standalone software. Web based application development provides an opportunity to save time and money, and improve the way we interact with clients, suppliers and business partners[5].
Usually web applications widely developed using Java and Dot Net. In this paper author has tried to focus on significance of web applications developed using Dot Net Technology [6].
Web Applications The web applications are steadily increasing its reach beyond the desktop to devices ranging from mobile phones to domestic appliances. This rapid expanding accessibility is largely due to the Web's foundation in open protocols and markup languages, which offer the most widely
Implemented global infrastructure for content and web application access. Web applications are becoming more popular because they offer many advantages over traditional software. Traditional software is usually expensive, especially when we consider the True Cost of Ownership, which includes high cost items like installation, upgrades to PCs, and training. Web applications allow to link people and data in new and more effective ways, and at a lower cost. in ways that were never possible using traditional software. Web applications are easy to use, and look more attractive than traditional software. A web application runs entirely within browser[8][9]. Online shopping is the most common example of a web application.
Web applications add interactivity to a website. Unlike normal website pages that never change, web application pages contain code that make them dynamic. In this paper author has tried to focus on technical aspects of DOT NET and J2EE and their significance in web development.
