Real-time Web Application Development using Vert.x 2.0

By: Tero Parviainen

Overview of this book

<p>Vert.x is a platform for building highly networked and scalable applications on the Java Virtual Machine. Using just a few powerful building blocks, it provides a powerful framework that scales to a multitude of different usage scenarios. It is one of the few truly polyglot development platforms, providing seamless interoperability between components written in JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Java, Ruby, Python, and Groovy.</p> <p>Real-time Web Application Development using Vert.x 2.0 will show you how to get up and running on the powerful Vert.x platform. Using a hands-on example of developing a mind map editor, this book shows you how to build a Vert.x application from the ground up, and on the way introduces all of the major building blocks of Vert.x, such as integrating with a database, polyglot development, and so on.</p> <p>Real-time Web Application Development using Vert.x 2.0 will guide you step-by-step through building a Vert.x application so that you’ll be able to start building one of your own in no time. From initiation to scaling, you’ll develop a mind map editor application with real-time collaboration capabilities. As you go through the development process, you’ll get to know all the building blocks of Vert.x applications: Verticles, Worker Verticles, the Event Bus, and Modules. You’ll also see how Vert.x apps seamlessly reach into client devices by building a client application using the Vert.x Event Bus Bridge, Knockout.js, and D3.js.</p> <p>Real-time Web Application Development using Vert.x 2.0 guides you through the whole Vert.x application development process, tying all of the important concepts together with a simple, realistic example application.</p>
