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. #

1. Here's the server demo app. #

2. And here's a web page containing the client app. #

3. 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. #

Programming note

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:#

1. Through its RSS feed.#

2. In the liveblog panel on scripting.com.#

3. 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. #
