Socket.IO NodeJS library

[krem]

As part of my research in NodeJS and writing a NodeJS based MUD, I can across this little bit of heaven: Socket.IO library. What Socket.IO does is completely abstracts the cross-browser WebSocket functionality so that I can use this library (there is a client and a server component) without having to worry about there being WebSocket support. It handles all that, figuring out what technology is supported and providing a common interface to that.

Very nice and very helpful. Check it out: http://socket.io/

I am working with JsMag (an online publication) to write a series on Game Development using Node.JS. Part 1 of the series is about Node.js and Socket.IO.

You can read more about it in the soon-to-be-released April edition of of JsMag, http://www.jsmag.com/.
