Web Application Development

This document provides an overview of web application development. It defines a web application as a client-server program that runs in a web browser. Web applications offer flexibility and accessibility since they can be run on any device with a browser. Developing web applications requires both client-side elements like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as server-side elements. Popular frameworks for developing web applications include content management systems (CMS) and MVC (Model-View-Controller). Django is an example of a full-stack Python web framework that follows the MVC structure. The document also provides examples of basic HTML tags and an introduction to CSS for styling web pages.
