A web application or web app is an application that is accessed over a network such as the intranet or an intranet. The term may also refer to a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) or hosted in a browser-controlled environment like a Java applet, and is contingent on a common web browser to make the application executable. Web apps do not need any complex ‘roll-out’ procedure to deploy in large enterprises, rather just a compatible web browser is needed.

Microsoft had launched its Microsoft Office Web Apps that is ...
... a web based version of Microsoft Office productivity suite few months ago. It contains the web based versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft OneNote. The web apps allow users to access their documents directly from a web browser as well as collaborate with other users online and share files. As of July 2011, over 100 million licenses to Office 2010 have already been sold. The Office Web Apps provides more choices for sharing Office documents without having to search for a new tool. When you need to send any document one way, an email attachment via internet works fine, but it breaks down when you are interacting with people and the attachments begin flying back and forth, or when the person you are sharing with doesn't have the identical version of Office. Web Apps are a great solution at these kinds of situations.
