What is Comet
AJAX became popular because it allows a browser to request additional information from the server. One major limitation of AJAX is that the browser must initiate the request for data from the server. Comet solves this problem by allowing the server to push data to the browser at any time.
What is WebSocket
The HTML5 WebSocket standard defines the future of networking for browser applications, delivering full-duplex, bidirectional text-based communication between browsers and WebSocket servers. The WebSocket connection handshake leverages the HTTP standard to integrate with existing Web infrastructure, such as proxies, firewalls and load balancers, and then upgrades the wire protocol to remove the limitations of the HTTP request-response communication model. With WebSockets, browsers will be able to participate as first-class citizens in networked applications that are typically reserved for desktop clients, such as XMPP (Jabber) chat applications, as well as online gaming and financial trading applications.
Alex Russell served as Project Lead for the Dojo Toolkit from 2004 to 2008 and is Director of R&D at SitePen, a consultancy focused on the development of web applications, exceptional user experience, and pushing the limits of the web. Currently, he is working at Google. Previously he served as President of the Dojo Foundation, an organization that supports development of several high-quality, open source, JavaScript projects and distributes them under liberal terms. Prior to joining SitePen, Russell was a senior engineer at JotSpot and Informatica where he helped both companies build highly interactive, web interfaces. His earlier, open source involvement included stints as editor of the OWASP Guide to Building Secure Web Applications and primary author of the netWindows DHTML toolkit.
Michale Carter
Michael Carter is an expert on highly scalable, real-time web application architectures. He is an officially recognized contributor to the W3C HTML5 specification, particularly for his work with the WebSocket proposal. He is the founder and lead of the Orbited project (http://www.orbited.org), an MIT licensed Comet server built for high-performance browser networking. He is currently a freelance consultant and technical lead for OSSLine (www.ossline.org), a Silicon Valley non-profit that provides technical and legal infrastructure to a host of Open Source projects, including Orbited, the browser network protocols projectjs.io(http://js.io), and the python message queue MorbidQ (http://www.morbidq.com). Michael formerly worked as a Senior Software Architect at Brand Up (http://www.brand-up.com) and CTO at Idealistics (www.idealistics.org). He is a world renowned rollerblade free styler and speed demon, and in some other life he does nothing but play Hockey full time.
