Hi Steve,
I'm looking for a very short-term mentoring/consulting contract to help me get an Ajax/Comet type of connection working between a web interface and a fairly long-running, server-side process.
I want the web interface to reflect the server-side data as it becomes available.
I'm sure someone on this list knows exactly how to hook the pieces together; I don't.
It would be much more efficient to have someone who already knows help me hook it up instead of spending an unpredictable amount of time figuring it out myself.
I'd also like to have, as a primary product of this project, a tutorial showing a real-world application of Twisted to handle a modern, real-world use-case with full, open, well documented source code.
I wanted to mention a project that I've been hacking that I think fits the bill of what you are looking for. Here is my current description of what it is: " A very complete example of how to a create a realtime web application using Django + Orbited + Twisted." Currently the code is a glorified example (it nearly could be called a 'complete app') and that is: "Realtime Voting Both - Realtime Voting, Chatting, and Editing Polls." The code is here: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot and it is basically a "larger, more complete example" than the one I did some months ago, described here (you (Steve) have made a couple very helpful comments there so I know that you know of it's existence): http://clemesha.org/blog/2009/apr/23/Django-on-Twisted-using-latest-twisted-... So, in the spirit of "release early and iterate", I invite you to go play with it: http://github.com/clemesha/hotdot It has some really cool parts (Django running from twisted.web.wsgi, Orbited as a Twisted Service, authentication using Twisted Cred+Django models, filtering/modification/logging of in-transit Orbited messages, etc) but it is also 'not done' and has some remaining 'crufty parts' (which others might have great ideas on how to improve on :-). I plan to continue to improve on it, and fairly soon I'll do a formal write-up/blog-post on the whole thing, but for now any feedback is appreciated. -Alex
