You cannot have a C++ programmer developing a Web Application for the approach taken by both languages might be totally on a different plane. Summarizing everything up, the difference in a web application in a single application may be so little that taking a step back and looking at it from a different perspective will give you the idea that the idea of web apps is to have a modular program that has several modules that may or may not all be needed by a certain application. Web apps just have more interactive aspects and parts such as GUI’s and visual tools that differentiates them most from traditional programs.

They are developed with web browser supported languages such as HTML, Python, Perl, ASP, PHP or the many other web page development platforms that have managed to add browser support. Then comes RIA, or Rich Internet Applications that offer more than just snazzy graphics and video but more.
What happens is a technology trap of having the wrong people do the wrong things that has resulted in many failed attempts to develop and deploy successful Web apps. Trying to teach old folks to do stuff the new way round with a totally new set of tools that messes everything up.

Web applications are so hard to develop that people often find out the hard way that teaching development of such diverse and complicated technologies to more traditional programmers and developers can be quite hard and impossible.

Defining web applications in more detail and in context, they are a collection of logically connected web pages that are managed and handled as a single entity. A web site may contain one or many web applications as a result of their contracts with different providers on the market whose services or offers they may be supporting.

As Google Gears gets a service pack that allows it to function off-line, many are questioning the existence of rivalry between the two companies. Google’s Gears has become somewhat of a threat to the Office Line of software Microsoft made. Gaining off-line capabilities allows Gears to function much like the MS office with similar capabilities. Google has also added points to it’s relationship with developers with their release of the source code of the Gears program allowing developers to add their own touches to the program itself, an act Microsoft has been treating as a crime and an act of divulging company secrets. They have recently allowed some to view the source codes of office as they try to get the attention of developers, but their efforts are considered to be too cold at best by the many developers and programmers out there.

May they software glitches, viruses, failed internet links or other reasons, a hiccup in our technology often sends us cursing and mad at the computer by not allowing you to get at your page or checking your mail. The scenario has happened more often than not and many admit to the truths that have been said, we cannot live with the comforts and companionship of our gadgets and gizmos and of course the net. Everybody uses the internet for one reason or the next, but we’re all uneasy at the prospect of living a day without accessing the internet. Experts say that it is becoming more of the stuff that many are expecting to be part of normal life alongside power failures and storms. Just hope they speed up the development of multi-function gadgets to lighten our pockets that holds your cellular phone, mp3 player, PDA’s and the many other gadgets we carry around, not counting the laptop slung on your shoulders or back.
