Abstract
In this chapter we introduce a conceptual framework architecture for Web applications. The goal of such an architecture is twofold: to serve as a guide and to serve as a utility. One of the aims of any framework architecture is to support the process of Web application design by having some kind of “guide”. Why do we actually need to consider a design “process” in the field of Web applications? Is it not as simple as installing a Web server, writing some PHP script, and storing the data in some database? A typical 30 minute task some readers may think. In this chapter we will make an attempt to show that the process of creation of Web applications can be much more complex, requiring much more planning and architecture as may appear at first glance. The technological diversity, all those competing approaches, and the ubiquity of the Web are certainly contributing factors.
