Build Real-Time Web Apps Using WordPress and Socket.IO

In non real time application, client needs to refresh the page or poll the database to get the latest content from database.

For example client  request to server to check the stock price. Once server has sent response of latest stock price. Client will always see that price and it will never get real time stock price. To get the latest stock price  client has to either

1. Poll the server in regular interval to check if stock price is changed or not, or

2.User needs to continuously keep pressing refresh button to get latest data from server.
