Currently stuck with what "app" means in webdev context.
I sign up for some webdev course and bought some webdev related books and all of them mentions "app".
I mean in literal context, an app is just a piece code that would get called later if needed right? Am i missing something?
Like if i built a simple calculator using cpp and saved it. The file would be called an app right?
And also.
What's the difference between library and an app?
Could someone dumb it down for me please?
Thanks in advance!
@deesapoetra I assume a web app anything other than static web pages, since the server side will need to process info to give you an output
@vikinghoader could you dumb it down a bit more for me?
html game doesn't require server side scripting. Does it still considered an app too? I mean they could process input and output.
@deesapoetra I would not consider it a web app but more a web game, my view is a bit biased from a pentester perspective, if there is no input processed on the server side, then it doesn't have functionality and thus I don't consider it a web app
