The Live Web: Putting Cloud Computing to Work for You

The Internet is awash in real-time data, from Twitter and Facebook feeds to webhooks and news alerts. Today's Web users have come to expect instantaneous access to all kinds of data. "The Live Web" presents a practical approach to building applications that make the real-time Web usable now - through a new model for Web interactions based on events, endpoints, and rules that embraces the real-time Web and moves beyond the traditional client-server model. As the online marketplace changes in important ways - more cloud computing, greater real-time expectations, more individualized experiences, and more focus on apps - it's crucial for developers, product managers, and entrepreneurs to understand and address those market shifts. Through the use of a new programming language called KRL, "The Live Web" introduces the ideas, concepts, models, techniques, and technologies necessary to easily create applications that work across the Internet in real-time.
