I’ve recently been working on a Facebook application called “Call of Duty 5 Statistics” – for you gamers out there you probably know already what is it. You can basically share, view and compare statistics regarding Call of Duty 5 with your Facebook friends.
I’ve just took it out of sandbox mode so it’s complete live and ready to go! You can add the application visiting http://apps.facebook.com/codstats/ or check my statistics out.

So today we’re going to give the ability of giving a channel a topic, much like IRC and in the process learn more about the internals of APE.

We’re not going to end up with complete code but you’ll see how flexible APE is and how quickly we can extend it.
Following up on my previous post, we used a singleton “class” by using a function. I’ve recently come accross the DUI (Digg User Interface) which is a jQuery plugin and extends jQuery so we can use classes – much similiar to MooTools Class method.
APE (AJAX Push Engine) uses the MooTools library by default which is great, if you work with MooTools. What about us jQuery users? Well with APE it’s very easy to use your own preferred library and I’ll show you how.
APE (AJAX Push Engine) is basically a daemon which acts as a proxy between your client and the HTTPD. It allows thousands of users to exchange real time information through your existing web browser, no reloading and no plug-ins – a web developers dream.
