I'm struggling a little with this rather mundane question of terminology: even the simplest of my personal 'websites' are built in Rails. They interact with a database, they are stateful, they are tested. Are they just a 'website', or are they an application?<p>I ask this from the perspective of discussing the site/app with other people, which is not really something I had done much of before.<p>What are your thoughts? What terminology should I use to minimize confusion during discussions?
imho that's just semantics.<p>Make the terms clear at the start of the discussion - argument why you're using a term application instead of a website.<p>Wouldn't that clear it up?
