Due to the increasing popularity of Scripting Languages here on SDN, I wanted to share with everyone an interesting little project I came across recently this is one that I rank up there as "cool". This is a Socket connection made using JavaScript.
I could not find a single way to have real sockets in Javascript. Google told me that there probably is no solution except embeding a java applet or an active-x component! So I thought why not using a little .swf file as a bridge from javascript to the socket functions of flash! You can see the result here: http://dev.dschini.org/socketjs/ This works pretty neat, fast and stable! The client connects to a patched (”
”) Unreal IRCD. Except connecting and joining a channel there is no much functionality, but it works pretty good! If you are interested please give me some feedback!
- Manfred's Diary With such an increasing repository available of components, applications and libraries to use I personally think that we are at a crossroads of technology, a "Dawn of the Scripter" so to speak is coming and the stars in the heavens are all aligned and I think it's time to step forward. Now the problem of course is who's who, what's what and where does everything go. SDN has given us a home so we should use it, for those of you going to TechEd please sign up and register your sessions for the SDN Day at TechEd'06! Being in the unique position I am here on SDN, I've got the ability to not only support what I am passioniate about but also to participate in it, "Scripting in a Box v0.1" and the one or two examples inside are the extent of that participation to date, but I'm working on more and I hope to maybe present myself at the SDN Day at TechEd'06. So if you see a session from me make sure you vote and attend 🙂
