LO1. Understand the concepts of web application development
P1.1 Critically evaluate the functions and advantages of web applications
Web Application:
A web application is a type of program which is accessible over the network with the help of
some connections like HTTP protocol. The web-based application can run on any browser as it
supports various browsers. The programming of the web application is done by HTML and
CSS which helps in making forms and designing of those forms. It requires a web server which
connects the server and client through the internet. The server-client is used to manage requests
to access the web application by giving a response to the client by the server ( Fitz-Rodríguez,
Kubota, Giacomelli, Tignor, Wilson & McMahon, 2010). The client-side part is done by
HTML and CSS or some other language like JavaScript, PHP, etc. The server-side
development is done by Perl, ASP.NET, PHP, Python, etc.
Web-based application accessibility:
Nowadays, the developer focus on every type of person to make a website accessible by anyone
in some way. The company wants the website to sell their laptops and for this, the developer
needs to focus on customer requirements along with their accessibility. So this website also
supports some special functionaries which help the customer to search laptops of their need.
Users of Web application:
This company is based on e-commerce in which they want to improve financial conditions by
making profits. It can be possible when the interaction of the user will increase towards the web
application. This website is designed by keeping aspects of the public sector and private sector
which enables communication between the customer and company.
Functions:
Account Profile:
This web application provides an option for users to manage their profiles on the company
website. The users can add their personal info which is used in checkout some item such as
username, contact details, email address, etc.
Cart:
The web application provides a shopping cart to the users as this is an e-commerce laptop
company who wants to sell their laptops to enhance performance. The shopping cart helps users
to analyze what they are going to shop.
Product details:

1.3 Examine web security and make recommendations for security improvements.
Web Security:
The security on web application helps to prevent cyber attacks from intruders. Basically, it is
for analyzing the issues and responding them to prevent unauthorized access to the data. The
web security protects data information which is available online over the internet identify the
risks and their solutions to reduce the chances of attacks. It requires security for protecting user
accounts, their personal info, transaction details, etc. by monitoring and revoking the
permissions of intruders (Meier, 2010).
Merits:
It protects systems from viruses which can easily corrupt the data present in the system.
The security can be renewed after a limited period of time.
It manages data transmission over the internet and protects from intruders by the
following cryptography.
Demerits:
Due to more security plugins. It reduces the speed of accessibility.
The cost will increase with the increasing security features.
Some malicious functions break the web security.
Issues in web security:
The intruders attack the web application and break the security protocols through SQL
injection. It corrupts the data files and changes data through some manipulation
operations of the database.
Due to less maintenance, intruders access the data and made some changes which affect
the reputation of the web application.
Intruders can easily attack the client side languages as these scripting languages are less
secure compared to server-side language. The browsers sometimes hacked which
breaks the security protocols.
Recommendations:
The web application should pull the data though getting method under encryption and
decryption methodology which prevents attacks occurred on the client side.
It supports interoperability and versatility.
Demerits:
It is a less secure language for scripting at the client side.
Sometimes browser doesn’t support JavaScript which affects the accessibility.

P2.2 Synthesise client-side and server-side functionality in a web application.
Client-side interacts with the server-side:
The web-based application is developed in 3 parts which are required to make fully functional
as client-side, server-side and database which stores data information. The database is designed
through some SQL language or from the bundled operation. Client-side is done through HTML,
CSS and any other language like JavaScript, jQuery which runs on the browser to provide an
interface for interaction by the user side. The server-side scripting is done through PHP along
with database through SQL to support front-end for the users. The server response to the request
generated by the client to access the web application. The below figure determine the
interaction between the client and server side (Lopes, Franz, Kazi, Donaldson, Morris & Bader,
2010).
Figure 6 Server side and client side interaction
It describes how site load on browser then process the request to get a response from the server.
The database called which sends a response to the client over the internet and server-side
process the data to the user which is maintained a database of the server.
Three-tier architecture:
The web-based application works on 3 different layers in which the client tier used for
interaction with the website. The interaction of the web application is rendered by the browser
and provided by the presentation layer which is client tier (Shinn & Walker, 2010).
The logic tier acts as server-side which supports the presentation layer by showing data
information over the internet to the user. The user can access information and use the
functionalities of the system. The database layer or tier stores the product information, user
account details, login details, payment details, etc.
Client-side interacts with the server-side:
The web-based application is developed in 3 parts which are required to make fully functional
