Merging a developer program into a system.

Question

Hello Community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server with the UI you have web applications.
    Eventually you may want to add more applications but this time
you may want to create a web application developed by writing a program.
    Is it possible to add a web application developed and written by a program
to the Sharepoint system that was created using the UI web application and
if so how would you execute a web application written developed by writing
a program from the system created using the UI?
    Thank you

Hi Shabeaut,
I think you are refering custom application targetted for SharePoint, correct me if I am wrong.
There are different approaches for developing SharePoint application, usually if high degree of customization is required, we use Visual studio for creating site definiations, web parts, master pages, workflows, REST API, CSOM, JSOM, SSOM etc.,
If there are simple changes, then our choice of tool is SharePoint designer, which is used for master page customization, workflow development, list / content type customization etc.,
few cosmatics changes are done using SharePoint OOTB.
So it depends on level of customization you are looking for, here are few links which will help you to get started -
