Ajax and Comet: Implementing the Real-Time Web
May 21st, 11.25-12.25 Main Hall
Ajax has proven a successful means to revamp the Web and facilitate the migration of many applications from “thick” clients to browser-based and zero-install clients. But several applications require real-time data to be effective (for example: financial market data visualization; online auctions; online gaming; messaging systems and social networks). The Comet paradigm, as an extension to the “traditional” Ajax techniques, allows any web page to receive real-time data pushed by a specialized server. This talk will introduce Comet from both a technical and historical perspectives. Several examples will be shown and a simple application, based on the Lightstreamer Comet framework, will be developed from scratch.
Hope to see you there!

I attended this talk by Alessandro Alinone at the Great Indian Developer Summit. This was one of the most exciting presentations at the summit and got a lot of people interested in Comet + Ajax. Within our team of developers in my office, we are now planning to evaluate how we can benefit from using this technology.
