Building an Interactive Whiteboard with NATS Websockets | Rethink Connectivity Episode 3

[@dellaian]

This was the clearest explanation of how to use nats for webdev. Thanks a million for this presentation.

[@SynadiaCommunications]

Glad you liked it!

[@wstein389]

Agreed!!

[@tyortyo]

Thank you for observing this technology.

[@studentssite4514]

I can't thank you enough... hands down the best video for beginnners

[@michaelpostname4310]

more demos like this please

[@michaelgrauvogl689]

Nice demo! Looking forward to next week!

[@dparkinson6]

Hey I know this is super old now, but wouldn’t securing this be challenging? How are you going to securely connect to nats in the front end without exposing the details? Thanks for any feedback.

[@kmultimediaservice4753]

Thanks for your great Ideas

[@filipeandrade6]

Really nice, Thanks Jeremy!

[@chaudharyvideo1521]

thank you so much , it worked 🙂

[@CraigAschbrenner]

Great video explaining the basics for those new to NATS. On a tangent... interesting vim auto suggestions... by chance any dotfiles to see your vim config?

[@setharnold9764]

Fun demo, thanks

Hello, Jeremy. Wow, this is amazing. I am just overwhelmed by this presentation. I know, for many including yourself this is nothing special, but for me this is just stunning. I am relatively new to programming and I want to learn and comprehend everything about NATS now. Is there a chance, that we can get this code in a repo to go through it step by step? In any case, I thank you for your work and I am looking forward to continuing learning from you and this channel. Stay safe and see you later.

The truth is that the unknown scares all of us, but we just have to practice so we can get well with the software.

Great video, thx Jeremy. Watching a lot of the others as well. Something missing for me is the code samples. Could we see your javascript side please as that would help us implementing to an existing user base. Another thing we are missing is clear guidance or best practices for implementing a websocket connection to a secure server. Local nats servers are great but does not represent security models in production. Could you provide more input on that please. We have 500k users already authenticated. How would i connect them securely with a websocket connection since i need to associate the user with my own users base when i process their subscription.

[@SynadiaCommunications]

Hey @gerhard You can see the source code for this project here: github.com/ConnectEverything/nats-whiteboard As for auth on websockets, that's a great idea for another video, to cover it in the way you've described requires covering a couple different topics, namely our Auth Callout feature docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/configuration/securing_nats/auth_callout which allows you to delegate auth to a custom service so you can hook NATS into any auth provider you'd like and dynamically generate permissions based on the user

[@crhayes]

Awesome video!

[@SynadiaCommunications]

Thanks!

[@mkchan4507]

the demos. I don't know if tNice tutorials is a clue, but when i pause or stop the soft, there's an echo wNice tutorialch very slowly fades out.

[@MatthewAdams12]

Please share your shell & IDE setup. Looks like VIM for editor, tmux & zsh with ohmyzsh for shell?

[@SynadiaCommunications]

neovim with kitty and fish for shell

[@VictorRedondo-s2q]

I this project sample in a github repo?

[@nexovec]

As a programmer, I have to say the client-side handling is really awkward to look at, but only considering the end product here, it's almost unbelievable that you can spin this up in just a couple of minutes.

[@jstraders6588]

Out of interest, what sort of soft are you hoping to produce?

[@hz8711]

vimmm

[@SynadiaCommunications]

That’s right!

[@abdulrahmanabdullahi2561]

hahahah affter 4 years i haven't even learned how to use photoshop Good how can i master tNice tutorials one xd

[@zahidniazi3511]

careers. TNice tutorials was an amazing introduction to tNice tutorials software.
