Interested in the Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) but somehow missing the courage to take the first steps? This “Introduction to RAP” by Chris Aniszczyk and Benjamin Muskalla will give you a head start.

The article is the first of a two-part series and covers the following topics:

  • Downloading and Installing RAP
  • Launching a RAP application
  • Differences of RAP to GWT
  • A side-by-side comparison of the RAP Hello World / Mail examples with the sources of their RCP counterparts

The article includes a .zip archive with three sample RAP projects. The forthcoming second part will cover some more advanced topics like theming, branding and custom widgets.
