I built a "Google Docs" in 1997 using Java applets (couldn't raise funds, too early). And HoTMaiL had launched the previous year, bringing email to the web, which is certainly one of the closest things I can think of to the first "web app".
WikiWikiWeb launched in early 1995. I'm trying to think what could classify as the first "web app"? I was on the Web in 1993 and there wasn't much of any use on there. Writing web apps was hard because there were no tools for it. I ended up writing most of my back end code in C. Which sounds crazy until I realize I'm writing it all in C# now.
