Experience:
Advanced Browser technology is evolving all of the time and with it come exciting new possibilities...
Most modern browsers support web sockets that let us build realtime web applications that we could not have built a few years ago.
In this session we will demonstrate how to build a realtime map based using the geo and openlayers modules that can display moving items on the map without reloading the map page using push technology.
We will briefly discuss the following stack -
- Android and iphone based triggers to capture movement
- node.js as a simple yet scorching fast javascript proxy
- PusherApp and dom subscription basics
- A splash of jquery in the OSM base map to tie it all together
Intended audience:
Mapping buffs, Android Fanboys, Javascript Ninjas and Ninja wannabes, UI specialists that are interested in interfaces that rock.
