# What are Web Applications? ->It is an interactive and dynamic website that is accessed through the browser. For example Netflix, social networks .. # How can I develop them? ->To create a web application you must develop all the code (the functionality and what the user will see, that is, client-server) or you can use online websites to create web pages such as Wix or wordpress. # What are their uses? ->Its uses are endless. It can be used for online games, for social networks, for a business system (billing, sales, purchases), to play videos (youtube, Netflix), online payments and everything you can imagine. # What languages do I need to learn to develop them? ->There are several languages available. In general, it is programmed on the server side and on the client side. The server side is the functionality and the client is the design that the user will see. On the server side the most popular languages are: PHP, Java and Python. and on the client side you can use HTML, CSS and JavaScript. # What is the difference between a "Website" and a "Web Application"? ->The basic difference between a website and a web application is that a website its content is static and the web application its content is dynamic and interactive.

websites that perform a function can be termed as a web app but strictly speaking that it is not so if you mean progressive web apps see google web apps, you have to define manifests etc refer to : https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/

A web site is like a block of land, a work site, a town site, a building site. It's just a location on the internet represented by a domain name. A website has a unique domain.  maps.google.com and docs.google.com are on the google website.  thefacebook.com is not a website, it is a script that forwards to a website. ------------- A web application is a website that performs a function. Any function. A calendar that lets you click on specific dates is a web application. A calendar that lets you add events is a web application. A website with links to different pages advertising a product is not a web application. But the CMS behind it IS a web application. Another interesting one is "web app" or "web applet", which usually is used to describe a feature of a web site, web service or web application, that has a specific purpose. A plugin is a web app. A script that you can duplicate for your website is a web app. A calendar for viewing different events on different dates is a web app ------------ to develop them you have to learn this html=>css=>bootstrap=>Javascript =>node and react script =>JAMstack to make static websites and applications etc.
