Lightweight Pub/Sub for Web Applications using MQTT

MQTT is an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is commonly used as a machine-to-machine connectivity protocol for IoT devices, and usually runs over TCP/IP using sockets. But, recent efforts have implemented the protocol in JavaScript using web sockets, making it possible for your web page to participate in MQTT-based messaging. This session will introduce the MQTT protocol, discuss various brokers, talk about messaging and Quality of Service, and provide examples of how to use Pub/Sub to enhance your web application and interact with IoT devices. But don’t just take my word for it - this is the same underlying technology that enables Facebook Messenger to perform phone-to-phone message delivery in milliseconds while not draining your battery.
