While the expression, "there is more than one way to skin a cat" is true, it is both horrific and disgusting. So let's instead say there are various methods to implement a computer application. At ePatha software we have used them all, because each has benefits and restrictions. Below these methods are discussed and illustrated.

web applications

pros

Since every computer user has access to a web browser of some kind, a web application gives your application basic access to every user and changes to your served pages are all centrally implemented.

cons

You must incorporate other functionality like Javascript (examples), Flash™ or Java Server Pages (JSP) to create dynamic presentations or obtain useful user input. In addition, there are often browser inconsistencies which may require conditional use statements.
Also, data transmissions between the user's browser and your server are readable by others, unless the data is encrypted by a Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which requires additional server administration.

example

In this application segment, created for GoCampaigns Inc., the user has access to customer information via SSL after a password protected login. Here the customer's data can be altered, deleted, or added to and all communication with the server process is encrypted.
