Realtime Commenting blog post on Smashing Magazine

By Phil Leggetter On May 9, 2012 · 2 Comments

Really pleased to see my realtime commenting system blog post appearing on Smashing Magazine. The post took a reasonable amount of time to write but I really like the way that the application is built from near-scratch and is progressively enhanced, first with AJAX and then realtime web functionality.

Big thanks to Bryce Wilson of zendit.com for putting the HTML5, WebSockets (connectivity) and Pusher image together.

You can read the "How To Build A Real-Time Commenting System" post on Smashing Magazine now. And here’s the tweet from @smashingmag:

Interesting topic for a blog. I have been checking out a lot of blogs and forums recently. Some are really informative some are entertaining and some are a real crack up. I must say, terrific job on this blog, I’ll be sure to look in again real soon.

- How I won the ESRI DevSummit 100 lines of JavaScript competition
  29 Mar 2013
  
  First I’d like to emphasise that this is a blog post on how and not why. The why comes down to the judges. So, thanks Judges! Secondly I’d like to thank Rob Dunfey for the idea and for providing additional motivation – I’ll dig deeper into this later. Finally: what am I going to cover? As the title suggests, I want to cover the how. What that means is: The Idea Solving a Real Problem The Motivation A Developer’s Toolbox? My Developer’s Toolbox – How the Realtime Collaborative Mapping app was built What has been achieved? Where next? The Idea [...]

- Reclaiming Twitter
  13 Jan 2013
  
  For a long while now I’ve not been getting as much out of Twitter as I used to. There’s too much information to take in. I’ve long said that Twitter is throw-away. If you miss something then it doesn’t matter. If it’s important then I’ll see a retweet or pick up the information from somewhere else. This is wrong. Just because it’s not being retweeted by everybody it doesn’t mean it’s not a worthwhile update. Just because it doesn’t get upvoted on Hacker News it doesn’t mean that it’s not relevant to me. Somethings is wrong with how I use [...]

- A year as a Developer Evangelist
  20 May 2012
  
  I can’t believe it, but I’ve now been working for Pusher for a year. It’s been an exciting year both in life and in business – and it’s great when you spend a lot of the time working on something you are really interested in. So, I thought I’d push out a post covering the things that I’ve done this year along with a few thoughts. A Developer Evangelist? I’m a strong believer that we are much more than a job title and that each person has their own strengths, weaknesses and interests so they should get to work on [...]

- The Right Place At The Right Time: How The Real-Time Web Influences The “local” World
  9 Nov 2011
  
  A couple of hours ago I was on a on the ‘The Right Place At The Right Time: How The Real-Time Web Influences The “local” World’ panel at the Local Social Summit. The panel was organised and chaired by Sebastien Provencher and also included RyanMacJones, Dave Ambrose and Stefano Diemmi. Here’s the information about the panel and my thoughts on the questions that were asked. Description The rise of the real-time Web is well documented. Propelled by both the social networking revolution and mobile device ubiquitousness, we’re seeing the birth of new user services and business opportunities. In this panel, [...]

- The Zoom! book got me thinking about Kwwika
  21 Sep 2011
  
  I’ve just finished reading chapter 2 of Zoom! The faster way to make your business idea happen and to use one of Ian Sanders favourite words it really “resonated” with me and my experiences with Kwwika. Chapter 2 is entitled “The trouble with too much planning. How to unplan your business”. I’ve been following Ian for probably around three years now and for around the last two he’s been talking, tweeting, blogging and vlogging about unplanning your business. I had tried to unplan Kwwika. The fact that it was a great idea, I had real passion for it and had [...]
