Book Description

Vert.x is a platform for building highly networked and scalable applications on the Java Virtual Machine. Using just a few powerful building blocks, it provides a powerful framework that scales to a multitude of different usage scenarios. It is one of the few truly polyglot development platforms, providing seamless interoperability between components written in JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Java, Ruby, Python, and Groovy.

Real-time Web Application Development with Vert.x will show you how to get up and running on the powerful Vert.x platform. Using a hands-on example of developing a mind map editor, this book shows you how to build a Vert.x application from the ground up, and on the way introduces all of the major building blocks of Vert.x, such as integrating with a database, polyglot development, and so on.

Real-time Web Application Development with Vert.x will guide you step-by-step through building a Vert.x application so that you’ll be able to start building one of your own in no time. From initiation to scaling, you’ll develop a mind map editor application with real-time collaboration capabilities. As you go through the development process, you’ll get to know all the building blocks of Vert.x applications: Verticles, Worker Verticles, the Event Bus, and Modules. You’ll also see how Vert.x apps seamlessly reach into client devices by building a client application using the Vert.x Event Bus Bridge, Knockout.js, and D3.js.

Real-time Web Application Development with Vert.x guides you through the whole Vert.x application development process, tying all of the important concepts together with a simple, realistic example application.

What you will learn from this book

• Set up a Vert.x development environment with ease
• Organize application code into nice and tidy components using Verticles
• Build browser-based clients for Vert.x apps using HTML5 and technologies like Knockout.js and D3.js
• Integrate your Vert.x app with MongoDB to make your data persistent
• Use the Vert.x Event Bus to add real-time collaboration features to your app
• Seamlessly integrate components written in different programming languages so that you can use whatever language is the best fit for each problem
• Organize your code into modules and distribute Vert.x libraries to your organization or to the open source community
• Integrate Java libraries into your Vert.x application and tap into the vast Java library ecosystem
• Scale your Vert.x application by tuning the deployment configuration of your Verticles

Approach
A quick, clear, and concise tutorial-guide-based approach that helps you to develop a web application based on Vert.x.

Who this book is written for
Real-time Web Application Development with Vert.x is written for web developers who want to take the next step and dive into real-time web application development. This book uses JavaScript (and some Java) to introduce the Vert.x platform, so basic JavaScript knowledge is expected. If you’re planning to write your applications using some of the other Vert.x languages, all the techniques and concepts will translate to them directly. All you need to do is refer to the Vert.x API reference documentation to see the particular APIs for your language.
