My name is Phil Leggetter and I'm a Software Consultant, Engineer, Team Leader, Line Manager, Twitterer and general tech geek. I'm really into technology being applied in the social media space. For more information see the About Phil Leggetter page.
About a week ago I wrote a blog article at work entitled “What is the real-time web?“. I’m seeing even more tweets and posts about the real-time web and I’d love to hear if other people agree with my opinion on what the real-time web is.

I work for Caplin Systems who have recently released Liberator FE which is the Free Edition of their real time Comet server product.
Liberator is the most performant and fully-featured server currently available for streaming real-time data to web pages. The technology behind many of the world’s leading financial trading portals, it is now available FREE for evaluation and non-commercial use.
In this post I will detail my experiences when installing Liberator FE on Windows with an aim to being able to create a RIA Client that consumes data from a Capin DataSource.
Liberator Free Edition comes with a comprehensive client library for integrating with Ajax or Flex, RIAs, a Java server library for connecting to sources of data and building application logic, and full documentation.
