An analysis of rapid application development of AJAX based Rich Internet Applications

With popular applications such as Google and Facebook enabling a very feature rich experience, users expect to feel the same richness in other web applications they consume as well. As an open source technology, AJAX plays a major role in Rich Internet Application Engineering. But its adoption within Rich Internet Application engineering is complex and difficult due to various reasons. Rapid Application Development is a methodology which can be used to produce such applications rapidly with the use of Computer Aided Software Engineering tools. In this paper, we try to interpret the current status related to difficulties and complexities of Rapid Application Development of AJAX based Rich Internet Applications and suggest possible solutions to be investigated in subsequent work.
