The Definitive Guide to HTML5 WebSocket is the authoritative resource for web developers and architects interested in building innovative web applications using HTML5 WebSocket. It explains how WebSocket-based architectures slash latency and unnecessary network overhead in comparison to older HTTP-based architectures. Readers will also learn how to secure HTML5 WebSocket connections and deploy WebSocket-based applications to the enterprise, and how to build real-time web applications with HTML5.

“As the founders of the HTML5 WebSocket standard, Kaazing is excited to see this first definitive guide become available to the public,” said Jonas Jacobi, CEO and Co-Founder of Kaazing. “Kaazing’s standards-based enterprise platform enables the fastest, most reliable live web and mobile communication experience. We provide companies and their developers with the ability to easily and cost-effectively develop using Kaazing’s WebSocket Gateway—powering real-time applications such as live web–based foreign exchange and stock trading, interactive bidding and gambling and guaranteed mobile notifications for delivery of critical, time sensitive information.”

The book is a featured publication by Apress – the leading source for career empowerment and growth for IT professionals, software developers, and business leaders – at the company’s booth at SXSW Interactive in Austin, TX, from March 10 – 13. It can be purchased through the SXSW bookstore, Amazon, Apress e-books, and select Barnes & Noble retailers.
