Introduction to PeerJS: A Simplified WebRTC Library

When it comes to working with WebRTC, the process can be challenging. However, with the help of PeerJS, a powerful library, WebRTC becomes much easier to handle. In a previous blog post about WebRTC, I discussed the intricate details of using the protocol to establish direct communication between two web browsers. During the tutorial, I mentioned that there are libraries available that simplify the complexities involved in enabling WebRTC communication. One such library is PeerJS, which offers a straightforward approach to real-time communication....

Using WebSockets with Node.js: A Guide for Real-time Communication

WebSockets have emerged as an alternative to traditional HTTP communication in web applications, offering a long-lived, bidirectional channel for communication between clients and servers. Unlike HTTP, which follows a request/response protocol, WebSockets allow the server to send messages to the client without the client explicitly requesting them. Additionally, both the client and server can communicate with each other simultaneously, resulting in low latency and minimal data overhead. WebSockets are supported by all modern browsers, making them an excellent choice for real-time and long-lived communications....
