Client side web application executes at client side which is on a browser & all the resources of pages loads at clients side. On the other hand Server side web application executes at central server in which page life cycle goes on at server end. the five i found are communication websites. communication websites- basically allow communication along the network. an example of communication web apps are like emailing in Google gmail. they allow a person to send mesages and data to others with accounts. basically communication web apps allow communication through such as e-mail application and also via web interface as well. office tools- web apps do basic office procedures. a good example of a web app office tool is Ajax13 (http://us.ajax13.com/) tools offer almost everything – text editor (ajaxWrite), graphic editor (ajaxSketch), spreadsheet calculator (ajaxXLS), presentation editor (ajaxPresents) and multimedia files manager (ajaxTunes). searching web- apps are basically search engines that allow the user to look through the internet. such web apps are like Google Search.
