Getting Familiar with the Required Technologies

Building a web application isn’t a one-dimensional exercise. Modern web developers will be required to leverage a number of technologies to build apps that meet the needs of their users.

In this part of the book, you’ll become familiar with the technologies you’ll use to build your first realtime web application. Since this project is leveraging some of the more common web technologies in use at the time of writing, much of this part of the book should be familiar to you and can be skipped if you feel comfortable without a review.
