ActionCable vs. Socket.io at ConFoo

How do you achieve real time, bi-directional, event-based communications in your apps? The Socket.io library is tested and true. ActionCable, new with Ruby on Rails version 5, is a challenger. Which solution is better, and why?

This presentation compares Socket.io and ActionCable (included w/Ruby on Rails version 5).

Thanks ConFoo!

The presentation was given at ConFoo in Vancouver, BC, Canada on December 7, 2016. Thanks for the invitation, ConFoo organizers!
