13.4 Summary

A web application is an application that is accessed over a network such as the Internet or
an intranet.
In 1999, the “web application” concept was introduced in the Java language in the Servlet
Specification version 2.2.
In 2005, the term Ajax was coined, and applications like Gmail started to make their client
sides more and more interactive.
In practice, web interfaces, compared to thick clients, typically force significant sacrifice to
user experience and basic usability.
A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and
FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often
called hits.
