Creating Web projects

Web projects hold all of the Web resources that you create, maintain, and use as you develop your Web application. The Web project is the environment where you perform activities such as link-checking, building, testing, publishing

Before you create your Web application, you need to determine which type of Web project you need to create. Web projects can be static or dynamic.

In a static Web site, the content viewed by users in a Web browser is determined only by the contents of the file system on the Web server. The user's experience is determined only by the content of these files and not by any action of the user or any business logic running on the server. For more information, refer to Static Web projects.

In a dynamic Web site, also known as a Web application, the flow of control logic, business logic, and the generation of the Web pages for the Web browsers are handled by software running on a server. The user's experience is determined, to an extent, by the user who initiates the flow of logic in a Web browser. For more information, refer to Dynamic Web projects and applications
