Number 2 on that list was 'Web Applications', which is what I want to discuss today.<br /><br />

Web applications can be the hardest way to get started and take the most money, but can be one of the most profitable.  Basically, a web application is a website which provides a service to the user.  <a href="http://facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a> would be a good example.  Other examples are <a href="http://linkedin.com" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="http://myoutdoorcalendar.com" target="_blank">MyOutdoorCalendar</a>, <a href="http://catalogofdreams.com" target="_blank">CatalogOfDreams</a>, and <a href="http://db.tt/hBBg2x4" target="_blank">Dropbox</a>.  These are websites, but they deliver more than just information - they allow you to interact with them and they provide you with a service.  Until recently, the only way to use software applications like these, was on your local hard drive on your own computer.<br /><br />

The more money you make, the more you will spend.  The more you spend, the better our economy will get.  I truly believe that there is plenty of money for everyone.  We don't have to compete with each other to receive our share.  As a matter of fact, I believe that the more we help each other, then the more we all prosper.  The way to true prosperity is through helping others get what they want.<br /><br />
Since you really need a website to help you make more money, I want to provide you with one for free.  I am automating the process so that it doesn't take all my time setting them up for you.  That way I can spend more of my time helping you with other things and neither of us will have to worry too much about the technical details of setting up the website.<br /><br /> <a class="more-link" href="http://cindycullen.com/i-want-to-give-you-a-free-website/2011/01/07/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

On a more personal note, Matthew and I are getting excited about our trip out west.  We spent part of yesterday planning our route to see just how long it's going to take us and how much money it will take.  It's going to be a LOT of driving and a LONG time away from home, but WOW it's going to be EXCITING!!  I know we will be glad to be back home.

If any of you have suggestions about attractions we might want to see while we are on the road, please let me know! <a class="more-link" href="http://cindycullen.com/daily-web-tips-and-our-trip-out-west/2010/09/13/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The page may have been built on the fly at your hosting server using PHP and MySQL and then downloaded to the user's computer, but by the time the visitor sees the page, it's on their local computer.  

Javascript code in the page may be making the web page more dynamic as well, but the user's browser is handling the Javascript dynamics.

Since the user is viewing your web page on their local computer, any updates that need to be made to the page requiring PHP and/or MySQL must happen at the server level.  This means that something on the page, such as a button or a link, must send another request to the server for the updated information.  This used to require a page refresh.  

The click of a link or a button would send the message to the server that another page was needed from the server.  It might have been the same page with new, updated information, but as far as the server was concerned, it was a new page.

In other words, once the page has been built and sent to the user's local computer, the only way to interact with the server is to send another request.  This used to mean that the user's browser would send the request and receive a new response to show a new page.

With advances in technology, advances in the languages that we now use for web development, and advances in our web browsers, it's now possible to update specific sections of a page without refreshing the entire page.  This has allowed web developers to create web 'applications' instead of just web 'pages'.  Web applications look and behave more like applications that you would run on your local computer.  This new technology is called Ajax - Asynchronous Javascript and XML <a class="more-link" href="http://cindycullen.com/updating-your-web-page-without-refreshing-the-page/2010/08/22/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
