I have a project: I need to create an in and out board (i.e a webpage/application which sits on a tablet PC by an entrance to a building); The app needs to show a list of names, populated from a MySQL database, and on click, update the time signed in to the database, and change the color of the name to indicate whether they're in the building - that part is easy - however, the app needs to work multiple machines:
Hence, you have data which needs to be "pushed" out to the other devices on the other entrances, so the record of when someone is "in" or "out" is identical. Previously, this has been done by making every click a form submission, and then each version of the page would use a Meta refresh every 30 seconds to update their displays; There's got to be a cooler way of doing this: Any ideas? Spry/Flex/Flash may be the way forward, and I'm intending to use it as a training exercise, so willing to learn, but would like a nudge in the right direction!
