Standalone Application and Web

1) Are both using the same technology?
No.

2) What are the differences?

Standalone Application is about capable of operating without other programs, libraries, computers, hardware, networks, etc. Exactly what is absent is presumed to be obvious from context.
Meanwhile a web application is an application that is accessed over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. The term may also mean a computer software application that is hosted in a browser-controlled environment (e.g. a Java applet) or coded in a browser-supported language (such asJavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable.

3)When is the appropriate time to develop standalone application or web based application?
We can develop standalone application anytime we intend to do it eventhough there is no internet connection. However the web based application only can be developed when there is internet connection avalaible.

4) Which one you prefer?
I would prefer to use standalone because it can be used anytime and anywhere as I wish.
