It's 2:07am here now, which will definitely have a bad effect on my productivity at work tomorrow, but I've finally completed support for both UDP and TCP sockets, so now the sample illustrates how to use TCP and UDP sockets from JavaScript.

I've verified that the new JavaScript TCP/UDP socket samples work on IE,Firefox,Google Chrome and Opera

As always, full sources are available for download as well

Enjoy... :-)

UDP socket support

I've recently added UDP support for JNEXT for all those wishing to use UDP sockets from JavaScript. Once it's all polished I'll post an updated setup.

For the impatient, you can compile the latest sources by downloading them via bzr from http://jnext.org/core

I've also added a link so you can view the latest JNEXT development updates (just click the JNEXT commit history link to your right).

So, what now ?

After releasing JNEXT 1.0.8, the next step is to start working on a watertight security model to enable safely deploying JNEXT applications on public Web sites.

There's just one more thing I wish to complete before starting this, and that is adding a UdpSocket class to the Sockets library - this way the sample can be extended to show how to use both TCP and UDP sockets from JavaScript. I will be releasing this as an update to 1.0.8 and not as a new JNEXT version.

Google Chrome

Of course after I downloaded the Google Chrome browser, the first thing I checked was if JNEXT works well with it. Although I didn't expect any problems (after reading the background comic and learning that plugins are supported), I was still relieved to see there's no need for another development curve for JNEXT to run in Chrome.

I hope to release a new setup for JNEXT 1.0.8 this week which will include all the fixes and the new plugin extensions. After that, the next milestone is the PKI infrastructure for securely running JNEXT on public Web sites.

Illustrating JavaScript freedom...

Just added a JNEXT screen shots page to illustrate just how simple it is to add local SQLite3 database browsing to Web pages using JavaScipt and JNEXT or to add directory traversal directly from within your Web page - again only using JavaScript and JNEXT. I hope to add more samples as they become available - this is the best way I know of to show the ridicuous simplicity of creating applications with native capabilities and Web browser UI firepower.

The next milestone is finishing the JNEXT security infrastructure. This stage is necessary for JNEXT to be safe to use on public sites, and will require a lot of scrutiny so it will probably take a while - stay tuned...
