BB 10: Difference between cascade, core and web-works app

Question

I want to know basic difference between Cascades, Core and WebWorks apps. Can WebWorks-based apps interact with device apps? Or they can simply run on web end? Please somebody clear it for me.

Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert, but in short

WebWorks - it is web based, but you can use some core APIs. Take a look here. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly you can even write your own libraries in core, to access more

Cascades - it's front-end (QML part) and back-end (QT). It has a lot more access to core then WebWorks. Very simple to make good looking apps, and good functionality

Core - I think it's mostly used for games, and app ports, but has big access to system functions.
