Goals

  • Understand how request responses can be sent to multiple clients at the same time.
  • Understand long-polling
  • Understand websockets
  • Practice Javascript and JQuery

Technologies Used

Note: I made one version of the application using long-polling with the JQuery.ajax function but this turned out to be extremely inefficient compared to using HTML5 websockets along with the tornado.websockets module.
