Howdy Rodger and All
IMHO the "hello world" application of webSockets (HyBi) would be
the lowly chat program.
It is one of those types of applications where one can easily
do a side by side performance demo for the "boss" between WebSockets
and something like perchance AJAX.
Personally I would set up the server (be it with node.js or other back
end) to
rotate an XML structure as the buffer , since in so doing , you can
create almost
any data sharing application without having to modify your server, but
that's just the tool
maker in me talking. :)
