Title: How to use Web-Sockets in Python
Duration: 45 (includes Q&A)
Q&A Session: 15
Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: Modern web-apps require bi-directional communication, reacting not only to user actions but also to server events. This can be achieved elegantly using Web Sockets, a protocol standardized by W3C to be a default tool for full-duplex connections on the Web.

Although most of web-frameworks do not support Web Socket integration out of the box, Python has multiple options available making it a piece of cake. This talk showcases running Web Sockets with Python web-apps, starting from situations that can make a good use of it, and followed by an implementation with most practical frameworks: Tornado and Django Channels. We will explore a similar style but different underlying technologies of both, and finish with a live demo.
