Experts in both website and web app development are necessary for the internet, tech, and business worlds. These individuals and companies are considered “technical wizards”. Let’s spell out the differences between website and application development.
Website

Whoever wrote this mission statement was clearly trying to see how many words they could use without actually saying something.
Here is what the alliance is really about: Even though the word Chrome never appears on its homepage and Google’s partners never quite get to mentioning it either, it’s all about helping enterprises adopt Chrome and Chrome OS. “The focus of the alliance is to drive innovation and interoperability in the Google Chrome ecosystem,
