In the context of client/server architecture, the client application is responsible for getting requests from the user and sending them to a machine that will service the requests, accessing databases and internal systems. The popularization of the Internet and improvements in speed and stability has led many companies to switch their client applications from desktop to Internet-based ones. This switch conveys a number of benefits, such as ease of deployment and updates, because any modification can be deployed to all clients by simply modifying the code of the application in the web server.
