The front-end used is the
well known (and quickly deployed) web browser, and there is a database system at
the back-end. Application programs provide the interface between the browser and
the database.
Those who are not operating a database-driven website today are not using the
medium to its fullest capability. Also, they could be lagging behind competitors who
have made the switch. So it is not a question of whether we should implement
a database-driven site, but it is more about when and mostly how to implement it.
Why web applications? They improve user experience and involve them in the
process by opening up possibilities such as:
Gathering feedback about the site
Letting users communicate with us and with each other through forums
Ordering goods from our e-commerce site
Enabling easily editable web-based information (content management)
Designing and maintaining databases from the Web
Nowadays, WWW might stand for World-Wide Wave, a big wave that profoundly
modifies the way developers think about user interface, data presentation, and most
of all, the way data reaches users and comes back to the data center.
