Creating a Real-Time Stock Ticker with HTML5 Web Sockets in 10 minutes
Abstract
HTML5 introduces Web Sockets—a full-duplex, bidirectional communications channel that operates over a single socket—allowing you to do all kinds of incredible things from your web applications. For example, you can communicate with any TCP-based back-end service (Stomp, JMS, Jabber, XMPP, and so on), which enables developers to code directly against back-end services.
In this 15-minute micro workshop, Peter will blitz through the creation of a JavaScript stock ticker application that communicates directly with a back-end RabbitMQ message broker using Stomp. The demo will leverage the Kaazing Gateway, an enterprise WebSocket server. In the process Peter will demonstrate the powerful simplicity of HTML5 WebSocket API programming and when done you will see real-time TCP-based back-end service communication using HTML5 Web Sockets in action.
