How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

Is socket.push(bytes) all you need to program Realtime Web apps?

Is socket.push(bytes) all you need to program Realtime Web apps?

One of the goals of Play2 architecture is to provide a programming model for what is called Realtime Web Applications.

Realtime Web Applications

Realtime Web Applications are applications that make use of Websockets, Server Sent Events, Comet or other protocols offering/simulating an open socket between the browser and the server for continuous communication. Basically, these applications let users work with information as it is published - without having to periodically ping the service.

There are quite a few web frameworks that target the development of this type of application: but usually the solution is to simply provide an API that allows developers to push/receive messages from/to an open channel, something like:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

  1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system
  • User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
    • Who is going to use it?
    • How are they going to use it?
