Abstract
This project presents the design and implementation of a web application called
PALTask2.0 using the LivelyWeb programming environment. PALTask2.0 is the next
major upgrade to the existing desktop-based version developed at the Rigi Research
lab. One of the main motivations for pursuing this project is to demonstrate the
capabilities of Lively and to inspire more developers to join and take part in the open
source Lively community. Additionally, this report is intended to serve as a user
guide, as it focuses on details of this Lively specific implementation. A few notable
advantages of using Lively are: applications can be built entirely using a single programming
language (i.e., JavaScript), Lively has an built-in Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) and source code versioning scheme, and finally Lively applications
can be built on the Cloud, thereby eliminating the hassle of deploying and managing
web servers. The complete unified solution offered by Lively eases the developer’s
workload and helps increase productivity. This report outlines some of the identified
weaknesses and lists suggestions to further improve the Lively Web Experience.
