Kaazing (News – Alert), pioneers of HTML5 WebSocket, recently launched a new book, "The Definitive Guide to HTML5 WebSocket." Published by specialist technical publisher Apress, the book was written by Kaazing executives Vanessa Wang and Peter Moskovits.

With the kind of technical knowledge the two authors bring to the table, "The Definitive Guide to HTML5 WebSocket" is exactly the kind of authoritative resource one might expect from the title. As such, it is ideal for developers and architects interested in building Web applications using HTML5 WebSocket. It also teaches readers how to secure HTML5 WebSocket connections and deploy WebSocket-based applications to the enterprise, as well as how to build real-time Web applications with HTML5.

“As the founders of the HTML5 WebSocket standard, Kaazing is excited to see this first definitive guide become available to the public,” said Jonas Jacobi, CEO and co-founder of Kaazing, in a statement.

Both Wang and Moskovits are employees of Kaazing and boast HTML5 expertise. For example, aside from being manager of technical publications at Kaazing, Wang has more than 15 years of experience writing about application tools and Web technologies. She also runs the San Francisco HTML5 User Group, the world’s largest HTML5 meet up.

Moskovits, meanwhile, is a frequent speaker at conferences including JavaOne, Oracle (News – Alert) OpenWorld, and DevCon5. He is also a co-author of the Oracle WebCenter 11g Handbook and head of real-time solutions development at Kaazing.

"The Definitive Guide to HTML5 WebSocket" will be a featured publication of Apress at its booth at SXSW (News – Alert) Interactive this month.

In December, Kaazing released version 3.5  of its Web and mobile communication platform, powering TIBCO Web Messaging for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service, an enterprise-strength messaging solution.

In November, Turkish electricity market operator TEIAS PMUM selected Kaazing to power its new 24/7 Live Electricity Intraday Market. The market relies on Kaazing for low latency data transfer and secure real-time Web communications.
