The Atmosphere Framework allow the creation of portable Comet and WebSocket applications across browser and server. In this session we will first introduce the new WebSocket technology and how easy it is to write such application using the Atmosphere Framework. Next we will introduce Atmosphere's Websocket clients' library: JQuery and GWT. We will then demonstrate how WebSocket applications can be highly scaled using the Redis's data structure server, the XMPP protocol or ActiveMQ. We will conclude the session by deploying our WebSocket application into environments that doesn't support the protocol and how Atmosphere can transparently emulate WebSocket support. The Scala programming language will be used for all our WebSocket demonstration.
