Session: Websocket and Web Communication in 50 minutes
Wednesday, 13:00 - 13:50
Track: Web
HTML5 Web Sockets provide an enormous reduction in unnecessary network traffic and latency compared to the unscalable polling and long-polling solutions that were used to simulate a full-duplex connection by maintaining two connections. HTML5 Web Sockets account for network hazards such as proxies and firewalls, making streaming possible over any connection, and with the ability to support upstream and downstream communications over a single connection, HTML5 Web Sockets-based applications place less burden on servers, allowing existing machines to support more concurrent connections.
Prerequisites
Understanding of Web architectures and some Java and JavaScript
