All good points, and I agree. In the book, I spend a lot of time talking about technologies that aren't HTTP. I was just responding to the points about HTTP (above).
Well said. That's exactly what I'm trying to do with this book (I wrote it). This is a very practical book in that you should be able to start implementing these technologies at scale in any modern browser and working with your apps existing ecosystem.
While I would have loved to put in a chapter on web sockets, It wasn't practical in terms of time or practicality. However, the 2nd edition (fingers crossed) will definitely cover it.
Hi, I'm the author (of the book, not the review). I totally agree with you sentiment. I spend some time in the book (and to whoever will listen) that you shouldn't just dump more and more stuff in front of the user, you have to be smart about it.
I definitely spend a lot of time talking about that issue in the book.The reviewer (understandably) didn't write about all of the pros/cons and content in the book.
I talk about how many servers (apache) are really bad at keeping these types of connections open and suggest using servers that were specifically designed for this (tornado). I also spend a while talking about how to get them all working together so you don't have to rearchitect everything just to get something set up.
Man, that ad is bad. But at the same time, I've lived in new york for a long time now and I still don't know anyone who's actually looked at that paper. So we're not in danger of anyone actually seeing it.
I know I'm in the minority, but am I the only one who dislikes using the mouse/keyboard and actually prefers to use console game controllers? I really like the xbox 360 controller, but I like the gamecube and even the playstation controller more than using the mouse/keyboard.
I don't play many RPGs of any kind, so that could be a factor.
Gamespot and IGN.com both have reader reviews and ratings along with each review. The reader reviews on both sites are almost always higher than the site's review.
I don't generally read too many reviews, but when I do, I tend to look for words like "fun."
Not to be picky, but it's "Ground Kontrol." The do have pinball too. I used to live near there. Now I live in Brooklyn, I've heard talk of a place called "Barcade," I look forward to going there soon.
Heh. that is pretty common too. And that doesn't compare with what happened to wilco. Forced off label, picked up by another label owned by the same company. Which means the same company paid for it twice. What company? AOL. (in case you didn't know.). Which doesn't compare with Mariah. 20M to leave her label was it?
Is this for real? I had been trying to figure
out where all the Bush backers were hanging out. No wonder Slashdot is so close minded and absurd sometimes.
"Thank god you're a graphics designer. Your grammar, spelling, and ideas plain out suck. You're a retarded 14 year old who is trying to conger up Karma and can't do it very well. Please fuck off."

"24 Mbps service at home"?
Some of us aren't (even close to being) so lucky. Where do you live? What does that connection cost? What is the provider?

Goodness me that was funny. Thanks for the link. (No Mod Points)
Aah! Very true, I can't imagine playing Starcraft with an xbox controller.

She freaked out because the photographer wouldn't stop taking pictures of her kid.
Most the time photographers do that to get a rise out of a star to get the pictures of them freaking out.
Did anyone else notice this posted earlier today for about 2 minutes? It even had a typo in the headline.
(there was no "D" in "Do")
Indeed. I was just nit picking...
cheers.

I'd like to point out that a power chord can not be minor.
Probably Dr. Katz.
Both Jason and the coach are Ben Katz, as well as a lot of other bit characters.
Home movies is the best.

Its all starting to make sense.
Um, I'm sorry I think you meant:
"Thank god you're a graphics designer. Your grammar, spelling, and ideas plain out suck. You're a retarded 14 year old who is trying to conger up Karma and can't do it very well. Please fuck off."
I pointed this out because you mentioned grammar.
