Crash Course In Java Brain Surgery

Last tuesday I delivered presentation at Princeton JUG «WebSockets: The Current State of the Most Valuable HTML5 API». + HTML5 specification includes WebSockets, a new communication protocol for the Web.

I did an overview of the servers (including upcoming JavaEE 7 RI - Glassfish 4) and frameworks that support WebSockets and showed some use cases where WebSockets shine. At the end we had short conversation  about various approaches for the server- and client-side implementations of WebSockets that can be used in the Web applications today.

Here are my slides from that presentation:
