Have you worked through the "Quick Start Guide" and "Development Documentation" PDFs that are available on the Liferay site yet? Those should give you a good start.

According to reference of http://www.liferay.com.
Liferay provides two main ways to develop applications.
1.Portlets
2.OpenSocial Gadgets

Portlets are small web applications written in Java that run in a portion of a web page. The heart of any portal implementation is its portlets, because they contain the actual functionality.

For more information you can refer this page :- http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.0/development/-/ai/developing-applications-for-liferay.

Thanks.

Statement is incorrect. Portlets are not just small web applicaitons. They can be typical sophisticated and/or robust application. Idea of putting such applications into portlets to have a complete control or usages of all such application through a single portal. Ofcourse we can also implement Oracle's SSO(Single Sign On) to have a single crendential authentication across all the portlets on a portal.
