Exploring the Ajax-Comet Paradigm with Alessandro Alinone
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. In this interview, recorded at GIDS 2008, Lightstreamer's CTO and co-creator Alessandro Alinone talks about the shortcomings of Ajax, the spirit of improved communication and scalability of Comet both vertically and horizontally.
