Database-Driven Systems

Database solutions →What is a web application?
A web application is a website that provides interactive functionality around a task, dataset or workflow. Examples can include dashboards, member areas, administration systems, searchable directories, calculators and internal business tools.
Web application versus a standard website
A standard website primarily presents information. A web application usually accepts information, processes it, stores it, retrieves it or presents different controls to different users. Some projects need both: a public website plus a private application area.
Plan the workflow first
Before development, define who uses the system, what they need to enter or view, what rules apply, what gets stored and what should happen at each step. This helps keep the resulting application focused on the actual job it needs to perform.
Web application planning checklist
- User roles and permissions
- Forms and validation
- Database records and relationships
- Search and filtering
- Dashboards and reports
- Administration screens
