Web applications are websites that display dynamic pages-- not just static web pages but pages that display 'live' data that is computed and/or stored in a database. Writing a web application requires knowledge of HTML and program code, such as Python or Java, that can run on a server. The barrier to entry is quite high, but tools like Google's App Engine are making things significantly easier. App Engine allows you to create web applications that run on Google's servers. The environment simplifies the task of creating dynamic websites because the database and web server are already setup for you.
