Websockets and Methods for Real-Time Data Streaming with Steve Schwartz

Steve Schwartz will present Web Sockets in JavaScript. The first half of the presentation will be an eyes-forward overview of the technology and the second half will be a hands-on exercise using web sockets.

Here is a preview of what he will teach us:

```js
// Steve (server)
var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server ,
wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080});
wss.on('connection', function(ws) {
ws.on('message', function(message) {
ws.send("Sure thing, how's this?”);
});
});

// SEM.js (browser)
var connection = new WebSocket('ws://steve.alfajango.com', ['soap', 'xmpp']);
connection.onopen = function () {
connection.send("Can you please send an abstract for this presentation?”);
};
connection.onmessage = function(message) {
if (message) {
connection.send("Awesome, thanks!”);
}
};
```
