HTML5 Websockets
HTML5 WebSockets: OMG! Someone broke the internet! 
with James Lewis
So we've finally worked out how to build massively scalable internet applications. REST and Resource Oriented Architectures are proving hugely successful; but the Internet is changing.HTML5 WebSockets are a W3C supported protocol that offer developers greater flexibility when implementing the next generation of internet applications. This flexibility doesn't come without cost. The speaker will explore the practical applications of the WebSocket protocol, it's limitations and the impact on internet-scale software engineering.
This talk is targeted at Developers, Technical Leaders and Architects. There may even be some code.
About the speaker
James Lewis is a Lead Consultant with ThoughtWorks where he has worked as a developer, tech lead and XP coach in various companies: Investment Banks, Publishers and media organisations. James studied Astrophysics in the 90's but got sick of programming in Fortran. Twelve years of DBA, Java development, software design and software architecture later, he believes that writing software is the easy part of the problem. Most of the time it's about getting people thinking right. He is passionate about the XP practices, seeding cultural change within organisations and applying what he's learnt to deploy maintainable, robust and scalable software into production on time and on budget.
We'd like to thank the university for allowing us to use their facilities.
