My best advice is to look at the demo sources.
Also, you should check out Pablo Tejada's framework for simplifying APE on
the client side.
On the server side, you should register your own commands like this:
Ape.registerCmd("ACK_RECEIPT", true, function(params, info){
Ape.log("ACK_RCPT - r_ID :"+params.raw_id + ", pag_cntr
:"+params.page_counter +", u_id :"+info.user.user_id);
});
Also, you will use Mysql support. Be aware that unlike PHP, calls to Mysql
are asynchronous, which means that the reply is non-blocking. This raises
issues when you want to give immediate answers to a command (you can't). It
also complicates things as far as variables management is concerned because
variable values may have changed between the moment you call Mysql and the
moment the reply comes. This is similar to issues you have to deal when you
make a loop of calls to setTimeout in Javascript.
Then if you know how to program Javascript cleanly you should make great
things.
Hope this helps.
PS: I have learned too late that objects are better than arrays for APE. If
you store things, store (and send) them as objects. They will take less
memory but most importantly they will avoid issues with the 0 in arrays (if
you send an array via APE, the indexes always start at 0 which messes up
your array).
