About this course

WebSockets is a powerful communication protocol that allows for bidirectional and continuous communication between a server and its clients. Whereas basic HTTP connections are used to build static websites, WebSockets power real-time applications such as browser-based chatrooms, live sports trackers, multiplayer video games, and much more!

Reviews from learners

  • The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.

  • I felt like I learned months in a week. I love how Codecademy uses learning by practice and gives great challenges to help the learner to understand a new concept and subject.
