Presentation: "HTML5 WebSockets deliver the Real-time Web"
Time:
Wednesday 15:00 - 16:00
Location:
Concordia
Abstract: Ajax killed the click-and-wait experience we once associated with the
Web and today, Comet is eliminating the stale data-delivery associated
with traditional Ajax techniques such as polling. However, based on
recent progress within WebSockets in the HTML5 specification, Web
developers can finally make streaming data to browsers in real-time a
reality.
Kaazing Gateway enables full-duplex communication from the browser to
any TCP-based back-end service. Kaazing Gateway is the first Java
solution that understands the WebSocket protocol and provides support
for many major enterprise protocols, such as JMS, AMQP and XMPP.
Kaazing Gateway eliminates the need for using convoluted server- and
client-side architectures to map server-side protocols to the browser
over HTTP. The resulting, simplified architecture allows Web developers to use the browser's native JavaScript support to code against the back-end services without the need for custom Servlets or server-side programming.
That's right! Kaazing Gateway allows developers to take full advantage
of the HTML 5 WebSocket interface today. Even when browsers support full-duplex connectivity, per the HTML 5 specification, there is no need to change any server or client code; applications will automatically take advantage of the native browser implementations of HTML 5´s WebSocket interface with improved performance. This makes browsers first-class participants in the server-side message bus, allowing browsers to send and receive messages in text and binary form using standard server-side protocols, and to communicate directly with any back-end services over the Internet.
Kaazing Gateway also brings the elastic scalability required to
support hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, as well as the
performance necessary to guarantee service-level agreements. Come see how you can start changing the way the Web works!
