You expect someone to explain web application engineering in this comment section?

  Sure. Behold the miracle of hypertext: http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/ http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/ Rather dated now, but the basics are still the basics. For somewhat newer material (but geared toward comp sci students): http://philip.greenspun.com/seia/ http://philip.greenspun.com/seia/? There. The rest is detail. ;)

    Still the best place to start.

    I find this little passage (from chapter 1 of your "panda" link) is a good bit of wisdom that is just as true today as when he wrote it: "People come to Web sites looking to get a job done or a question answered. The first thing the guys at www.fedex.com did was publish a Web interface to their package tracking database. That was back in 1994. When they decided to add corporate information they put it on an entirely separate site: www.fdxcorp.com. (Today the sites are merged.) "
