Overview
In this workshop we’ll to demonstrate how the browser is becoming a very powerful environment and can host complex application with the same features as their desktop counterparts.
We’ll test this hypothesis exploring some of the newest HTML5 features such as the Server Sent Events: a clever way to implement a long polling mechanism by delegating all the heavy lifting to the browse; very useful in projects that needs near real time data.
Peer-to-peer in the browser ? Easy with WebRTC ! We’ll explore and we’ll put to the test this set of APIs designed to allow the creation of a data channel between two browsers, with no server in between, to stream video/audio or even custom binary data.
And last but not least we’ll remove the veil on IndexedDB, a long ignored but powerful feature hidden in our browser that allow the creation of a fully functional NoSQL database that can persist data between different browser sessions.

Goals
This workshop is designed to balance some necessary technology overviews with exercises, demo and tips and trick targeted on the features we’re going to discover.

To actively join the workshop a laptop is required with at least a text editor (eg: Notepad ++), a webserver and the most recent version of the two popular web browsers Chrome and Firefox.
