It was an informative book, I brushed up my knowledge of JS, JQ, CSS, OAuth, and PHP, which are elements of a Realtime web app, however only the last about 10 pages is focused on the websockets by pusher that are used in making the web apps work in real time. The whole book follows one example project, thus you only see these elements through their example, and examples are better than just information, but combining the information with examples would be the best strategy. I did learn from it though, so it does have merit, it just doesn't solely focus on the realtime elements very much.

Il titolo corretto dovrebbe essere "Pusher developer manual", visto che tutto ruota attorno all'uso delle API di Pusher (che è un servizio a pagamento).
Inutile se non potete (o non volete) usare servizi di terze parti.
Abbandonato circa a metà (quando ho scoperto di cosa si trattava), dopo un'introduzione blanda (e inutile agli esperti) ad HTML, CSS< Javascript e PHP.

Very little time is spent going over realtime Web technologies. Too much of the book is spent going over basic PHP, jQuery, and responsive design. If you want a comprehensive overview of the realtime Web this is not the book. If you don't mind learning about object-oriented PHP, responsive design, Photoshop, and jQuery then it may provide some value after all.
