• Comet and Highly Interactive Websites

  by Joe Walker

  As the web gets more social, things change faster. As we get more Ajax, people stay on pages longer. Clearly there is a growing need for a way to automatically update web pages as they are being viewed. This presentation digs into the techniques behind Comet, the Bayeux protocol, and several open source Ajax libraries.

  This talk looks at why Comet is applicable to a growing set of websites, why it is hard to implement from scratch and the available solutions to make using it on any website easy.

  The presentations will talk through several examples and use-cases.
