Subject: Re: Real project -- general application structure

Daniel,

this is a lot of useful information. You got straight to the point:
how can I push data to the clients based on the occurrence of a server-
side event? Now I understand that this is no standard browser
behavior.

I read the article you pointed about Juggernaut, that's really cool.
I'm sure going to try it in some personal projects, but we were told
in advance that we couldn't use Flash on this one.

Also, today I had a meeting with the guys who will be doing the real
application (mine is just a proof of concept/demonstration) and they
told us that all information will have to go through the DB (unlike my
previous ascii art diagram). I believe they will opt for a polled
solution from the web browser, since they said that the sensors status
only needs to be updated once every minute or so (much less real-time
than I was thinking...)

I already have a simple server working with EventMachine. Now I feel
that I can go ahead on my own, with all the advice you guys have
provided me.

This second week on RoR has been so productive!   :)

Thanks everyone! Cheers,

Ricardo.
