ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
So, you want to send data from your server to a client, do ya?  Well, then look no further. Utilizing websockets you can push data from a server to a subscribed client in no time flat. Utilizing the new websocket features of ColdFusion 10 you can be up and running in mere minutes.
