I am just getting into this and have experience building web applications using PHP, ASP, Javascript, VBScript as well as VB6 client server applications and VB 2010 Express utilities. &nbsp;That being said I have no idea where to start to develop a client side application that is served by a web site but processes data locally. &nbsp;Basically I am trying to build a tool that has to &quot;check in&quot; with my web site to get the code that will run on the client before the client application can be run. &nbsp;Is this ActiveX?

Client side application that runs via web and ActiveX

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

Web Development Software

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.
