Real-time Web Development - When REST is not enough
by Yogesh Chaudhari (speaking)
Objective
This session will teach people how to write simple single page real-time web apps using Django with node. This will include a brief introduction to Django, node.js and socket.io.
Description
The session will serve as a "how to" for creating real-time web apps using Django for RESTful purposes and node for responsive portions. We will write a very simple app from scratch using Django and node to demonstrate how REST and responsive components can work together.
We will discuss use cases of this beyond just chat applications and see practical apps that are available on web.
I will also demo how I created a a single page web app based on web audio api to demonstrate the benefits of using this 'hybrid' approach.
Requirements
Python 2.7
Django
