I've never used node.js, just keep in mind node.js is javascript as a server side language, Socket.IO is just a library/module that makes a comet server out of node.js
Meanwhile APE is a stand alone comet server which has only one purpose, be the best comet server it could be. The APE wiki might have changed since i used it but when i first got starter it had averything i needed to know. If you get inlinepush push working you will be hooked. Is like developing an ajax application, you do most of the programming in your preferred server language like PHP; authenticate users, work with database, parse messages and after you do everything you want to do you just forward the message to APE. The only difference is the way the clients received the messages, here is were you get your hands dirty with some APE JS framework. Nonetheless you should give node.js a try. Who knows, you might find it easier to work with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "APE Project" group.
