Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with some of the geeks from Chennai at the Chennai Geeks Techmeet-3. Chennai is really a happening place for technology-minded folks – Lots of tech meets, technology user groups, barcamps, etc. Having missed the first two editions of Techmeet, I desperately wanted to attend the third one. The third edition was organized at Thoughtworks on Dec 18, 2010. One of the topics for this edition was “Intro to WebSockets” by Gaurav Oberoi. He gave an overview about WebSockets, need for WebSockets and its limitations. In short, WebSockets is a HTML5 feature which lets you stream data to and from web browsers. Google Wave (now Apache Wave) uses WebSockets technology for its real-time communication layer. Attaching the slides from Gaurav’s talk on WebSockets.
