I had negotiate for a speaking slot (to fill my analog blog commitment
from last time)
with Michael Morris, and have prepared a talk on "Comet with Sinatra",
which is
based on my bayeux-rack gem and jquery.comet client-side code. If you
don't know
what Comet it, it's basically asynchronous messaging from server to
browser, using
AJAX requests.
Comet is regarded as being a little old-hat now, but socket-io doesn't
have support
in any Rack-based server, so folk have been forced to jump to Node.js
or run a
second server to get asynchronous messaging. There are other
alternatives which
implement long-polling, but not as simple and sweet as what I'll show.
Or so I think
anyhow!
