Web Application

Web applications can be static sites, dynamic sites with backend APIs, or single-page apps using JavaScript frameworks. They are built using technologies like React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Developers use tools like text editors, version control with Git, and Docker for environments. Responsive design adapts layouts for different screens, while mobile optimization prioritizes small screens. Web apps are accessible from anywhere but can be slower than native apps. Testing, caching, CDNs, and compression help optimize performance.
