In this video you will be creating a real time chat application complete with usernames and connect/disconnect messages. You will use Socket.io to manage real time web socket connections to a Node.js server that will allow you to communicate real time chat messages to all clients connected to a single server. This entire project will take less than 100 lines of JavaScript and almost no HTML/CSS, but it is incredibly powerful what can be done with such little code. By the end of this video you will have a strong understanding of how to send and receive messages using web sockets and Socket.io to make any real time application. 📚 Materials/References: GitHub Code: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified/Realtime-Simple-Chat-App Socket.io: https://socket.io/ 🧠 Concepts Covered: - Using Socket.io to create web sockets - How to send messages to clients in real time - Handling user connection/disconnection - Appending elements with JavaScript - Sending messages to the server in real time 🌎 Find Me Here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/DevSimplified GitHub: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified CodePen: https://codepen.io/WebDevSimplified #ChatApp #RealTimeChat #JavaScript
