Description:

In under an hour, Peter Cooper will walk through the process of building a live, multi-user chat page using JavaScript, including both the front end client (using jQuery and other libraries) and back-end server (using Node.js).

Not only that, it'll be deployed in real time and you'll be able to try it out, as well as download the source to build a similar real time system of your own. This webcast is specifically aimed at people with a basic level of JavaScript experience but all are welcome.
