A couple months ago I posted the "Implementer's guide to WebSockets" that I wrote, but it seemingly got shadowbanned. [1]

I wrote the guide with example code for people wanting to know how to implement the complete WS13 protocol from scratch, so you can try it out, fiddle around and modify it to your needs.

The guide is more in-depth and assumes that the reader is willing to read the RFC when they're stuck :)

This is pretty excellent. I'll hold on to both of these resources as I think websockets would be just wonderful for the work I'm doing right now.

> willing to read the RFC when they're stuck :)

I owe RFCs for just about everything I do, they play a small but necessary role, I can't imagine not wanting to dip into one of them even if you aren't stuck.

This looks nice. I think I'll start with it instead of the OP ebook. Thanks for writing and posting it.
