Workshop - testing sockets.md

Goal

Show how to test RESTful front-end models that use socket.io as its transport.

Plan

  1. Warm up: build a small app with realtime communication using socket.io (maybe a chat).
  2. Refactor: rebuild model layer to be RESTful via sockets.
  3. Ask how should we test this, and talk about options.
  4. Show what can-socket-fixture is for, and try to test with it.
  5. Show that if we subscribe to socket events inside a model module then its a problem to intercept socket.io to fixture it.
  6. Show steal-socket.io which can help with #5.
