Võrgurakendus

Võrgurakendus, often translated as "web application," refers to a computer program that runs on a remote server and is accessed by users through a web browser over a network, typically the internet. Unlike traditional desktop applications that are installed directly onto a user's device, võrgurakendused reside on servers and are delivered to the client (the user's browser) as needed. This client-server architecture allows for accessibility from various devices and operating systems without requiring individual installations.

The core functionality of a võrgurakendus involves a front-end, which is the part the user interacts with in their browser (often built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), and a back-end, which handles data processing, storage, and business logic on the server (frequently developed using languages like Python, Java, PHP, or Node.js). Communication between the front-end and back-end is usually managed through protocols like HTTP.

Examples of common võrgurakendused include email services (like Gmail), social media platforms (like Facebook), online banking portals, e-commerce sites (like Amazon), and project management tools. Their advantages include ease of deployment and updates, centralized data management, and cross-platform compatibility. However, they also rely on a stable internet connection and raise potential security concerns due to their online nature.
