WebSocket programming is a new paradigm in web development that takes the interactive web experience to a new level of richness. The WebSocket API in Java EE offers a powerful lifecycle model and annotation-driven configuration and is an ideal solution for the development of interactive and dynamic websites. In this course, learn how to implement WebSocket functionality end to end in a client and server application.
