This session will provide an in-depth look into the use of HTML 5 WebSocket and the techniques and technologies required to build Comet applications with it. Additionally, the speakers will discuss the trade-offs between emerging de jure standards (such as HTML 5's WebSocket) and de facto standards such as the Bayeux protocol.

Using AJAX and Comet, this presentation walks through the process of creating a simple tic-tac-toe game in which two people play while other people can watch the game via their browser. The session involves creating a simple game playable in one session and then stepping through the process of adding back-end capabilities that enable it to be used in a two-player, distributed way. The presentation is aimed at newcomers to Comet, with lots of slides of example code. Some basic knowledge of AJAX is required for the session, but no knowledge of Comet is assumed. The finished product will be available for download after the session. This talk discusses APIs that are specific to the GlassFish Application Server; however, the general concepts are applicable to any server-side Comet implementation. Also, we'll briefly cover the new support for asynchronous communications in Servlet 3.0, which will be a part of the Java Enterprise Edition version 6. read more

Two things a person doesn’t always know: Who’s listening and how words are going to sound before they come out. The latter, if we want to get technical about it, is regulated by the orbitofrontal cortex of the amigdala, which unfortunately is switched off while a person uses the Internet—nonverbal communication is required for this to function properly—hence all the stupid comments loading down the internet like a soiled diaper. read more

by Stoney deGeyter This is part 2 of a 12 part series on keyword research. This series will guide you through four distinct phase of the keyword research process, providing you step by step guidelines to help you gather, sort and organize your keywords into an effective marketing campaign. Phase I: Finding Core Terms When most people start with the task of researching keywords they often start by looking for keywords they are familiar with. They'll use their familiarity with their products or services to find new word variations, maybe a few new relevant words, or even learn some new ways of phrasing what it is people are looking for. While this approach provides valuable information to the researcher, it's somewhat disorganized. Because keyword research is so crucial, a more organized approach to it is essential. Instead of starting the research process looking for words you essentially already know but are just in an unknown order, you must start the process looking for what
