Server-Side Push: Comet, Web Sockets, and Server-Sent Events come of age
Sunday - Mar 17 2:15 PM EDT - Essex
From client-side polling to SSE (Server-Sent Events) and WebSockets.
Server-side browser push technologies have been around for a while in one way or another. From crude browser polling to Flash enabled frameworks. In this session you'll get a code-driven walk-through on the evolution and mechanics of server-push technologies. From client-side polling to SSE (Server-Sent Events) and WebSockets. We'll explore a few implementation techniques, the protocols involved and the fallbacks and along the way I will help you gain a new practical understanding on this rapidly changing family of technologies and techniques
