Abstract

Web 2.0 and rich Internet application technologies are offering more and more sophisticated means for building compelling applications. At the same time the development of applications is becoming increasingly complex. While web applications are commonly relying on server side processing, we aim at implementing a "fat client" and running applications mostly on the client. With this in mind we derive a set of guidelines on how the applications should be partitioned between the server and the client. By following these directives and leaning on the traditional principles of good software development, we address the issues of complexity that have lately emerged in web development.
