Remedie slides from YAPC::Asia

View more presentations from Tatsuhiko Miyagawa.

This is a recycle from the presentation i gave at YAPC::NA but it has more recent stuff like comet messaging and how I implemented with Coro multitasking.

Cool! I'm working on a perl IRC client with a similarly blury concept of client/server desktop/web app. I am using POE with the IRC and Server::HTTP components. I'm finding the whole application architecture to be awesome on many levels. It is great being able to connect from multiple clients at once, from any device with a WebKit view.

I am curious what you are using for the Comet support. Right now I am just keeping a XHR open indefinitely and pushing JSON down it. On each update I need to splice the responseText and eval the JSON, which works, but I wonder if there is something better.

I would also really like to try the AnyEvent and Coro stuff you are using in Remedie. I think I'll probably dig in and see how you are using them this weekend. Hopefully I'll be inspired to re-write my entire application. :D

We are also working on a Fluid.app replacement (aptly named Solid). It would take an option for a command to run on run, and would then monitor STDERR for a "Location: http://localhost:8080/" string. Once it received the location it could open a webkit view at that URL. This way you effectively combine the server and client from the user's perspective, which is what we are shooting for on OS X.

I use the long poll comet technique using a very simple jQuery.ev wrapper, and yeah it's returning a JSON array object that contains the list of events to be pushed.

That sounds like a great app!

Too many people don't know anything about asian perl mongers. That's a shame because there are some really interesting developments going on there.

You have to know what to need ignore one because to you they look like the most exploitable people around.
