Hello,
I noticed that there are some programs that use the browser to run. For example, when launched, the program runs inside the browser as it it was our computer was a local server. I am familiar with the client/server model where a computer (client) communicates with a remote machine (server) to request and get information.
But the scenario I describe is different...Why would we want to create a program stored on our machine and using the resources on that machine but run it through the browser? I am confused...
