It's time for me to learn WebSockets at a coding level, so I whipped up a sample app, client and server, and in the spirit of the JavaScript community, I've released them in source for anyone to learn from.
Here's the server demo app.
And here's a web page containing the client app.
On the server I use the nodejs-websocket package.
If you have any tips on using WebSockets, leave a comment. I'm a newbie with this stuff, so don't expect much in the way of support.
Most of my blogging is on the liveblog these days. I know I keep doing this, but I'm pretty sure this time the liveblog will transition to becoming the "real" Scripting News. That's one of the liabilities of reading a blog of a programmer and tinkerer.
You can read the liveblog:
Through its RSS feed.
In the liveblog panel on scripting.com.
On its own standalone page.
As they say..
Still diggin!
PS: I'm now using WebSockets in the home page for Scripting News, with good results.
