Chat (Django, Twisted, websockets, jquery)

Initial setup and basic configuration – in which we build the simplest, most naive, chat application that will actually work:

• first, kind of a disclaimer
• Part 1: Serving a basic chat framework with Django
• Part 2: Real time chat – javascript/jQuery client hitting Twisted + websockets
• Part 3: Real time chat – javascript/jQuery client hitting Twisted, longpolling

an intermission: on using twisted as a front end to django

Addendums:

• Basic method for handling race conditions – solving a potential bug in the first tutorial.
• The GIL – or why in many cases we don’t have to worry about race conditions in python – explaining why the previous addendum might not be relevant.
• Refactoring twisted code – step by step example – there seem to be few bits of documentation on how twisted code should be factored; a demo of how i might do this work.

Misc.

• grinding a dynamic ui layout from a static source image
