verkkösovellusten

Verkkösovellukset, often translated as web applications, are software programs that run on a web server and are accessed by users through a web browser. Unlike traditional desktop applications that are installed directly onto a user's computer, web applications do not require installation. They are typically built using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the client-side (what the user sees and interacts with) and server-side languages like Python, Java, or PHP, along with databases, for the backend logic and data storage.

The primary advantage of web applications is their accessibility. Users can access them from any device with an internet connection and a compatible web browser, eliminating the need for platform-specific installations. This also simplifies updates and maintenance, as developers can deploy changes to the server, and all users immediately benefit from the updated version without any action on their part. Examples of common web applications include email services like Gmail, social media platforms like Facebook, online productivity suites like Google Workspace, and e-commerce sites like Amazon. They have become a ubiquitous part of modern computing, offering a flexible and scalable way to deliver software and services.
