Today I’m writing my
last topic about ICT with a bit emotion because I’m losing one more semester
from my university life but life must go on and we have to look forward towards
our aim and future plan. In this semester, I have learned a lot of things that I
may need during my graduation. Truly speaking, my lecturer Nur Khairunnisha Zainal
is very good as a teacher and we had a fun during the lecture session and she
is good at making people understand as well. From my personal point of view,
ICT is one of the most important subjects that we need to improve in order to
compete with others in this era of globalization. That’s why I chose ICT for my
graduation course. However, I hope I will be like a cheerful bird in my coming
semester. Ohhh….i forgot to ask you guys, How are you?? How are your days
going??
Don’t forget to answer
my questions because I will be waiting for your answers. If you answer me, I’ll
feel very much blissful through the connection of our hearts.
Stop this fabulous
words !! let’s go on to the topic. Today, I will explain about the Web application
and Web information system.
Web Application
Web application is an
application that is accessed over a network such as the internet or intranet. It
may also mean a computer software application that is coded in a
browser-supported language and reliant on a common web browser to render the
application executable.
It is also defined as a
collection of logically related interactive functions that fulfill a specific
business requirement as defined by a knowledgeable user of the Internet. In the
case of a web application, the ‘business user’ of the application is the web
provider, and it is the view that determines what ‘user requested
functionality’ is. The end-user of the web site does not directly influence
either the business functionality provided, or the design requirements.
The architecture of web
applications comprises multiple components. The purpose for counting,
determines which components are to be included within the scope of a particular
count. Examples of web components include:
- Business Application functionality
- Security
- Browsers (explorer, chrome)
- E-mail component
- Bulletin Boards
Web 2.0 Application
• Dynamic interactive web sites
• Typically with client / server communication patterns
• Famous for E-Commerce applications
Advantage of Web application
- Easy to use (end-user focused)
- Familiar: frequent use of standard controls
- You don’t need a manual to use them!
- Platform and machine independent
- No installation on client machine
- Easy to update (hit refresh!)
Web information system
Web information system
is an information system that uses internet web technologies to deliver
information and services, to users or other information systems. It is a
software system whose main purpose is to publish and maintain data by using
hypertext based principles.
Web information system
usually consists of one or more web applications, specific
functionality-oriented components, together with information components and
other non-web components.
Different Types of WIS
- • Informational
- Disseminate information (static or dynamic)
- Share information (among visitors or WISs)
- • Transactional
- Conduct transactional business (B2C, C2C, B2B…)
- Perform tasks (simple, complex and collaborative)
Finally we have learned
about Google applications such as Google document, Google calendar, Gmail,
Google site etc.
The most satisfactory
conclusion that I can draw is that I feel very pleased to fulfill this course
and I have erudite a lot of things.
Special thanks to my
Lecturer Nur Khairunnisha Zainal to teach us everything very clearly with a friendly
mood. I also want to thanks all the readers from my heart and beast of luck
everyone..:)
