What framework must I use to develop mobile native application?

What is the best framework to develop a real time chat application?

  • I started off using Ruby on Rails with faye for notifications. I chose RoR because I am familiar with this framework and because of the built in functionality like for instance auto_link(string). However seeing that all the client side content manipulation happens through javascript, I am now thinking about switching to an entirely javascript based framework. I want to support text, video, images and also plan to develop mobile apps. What would be the optimal setup, also considering scaling, time to market etc?

I have created Chat Clients and Servers in Java and it's quite nice as the networking libraries are quite easily available and well documented. However, in terms of scalability and load factor I would not recommend it. The best language to create a Client/Server model for a Chat Application would be using http://nodejs.org/ . It's the perfect choice for this kind of application. From your question I gather you know Javascript,hence you won't have a problem learning Nodejs. It already has a demo of the ChatServer which you can try at http://chat.nodejs.org/ . Also as you wish to create Mobile Apps I would recommend looking at HTML5 for creating this app as it would be ideal in your case.

Socket.IO is definitely what you are looking for. It's a Node.js library running on the server that can connect multiple browsers and users together using Web Sockets. You will be able to build a quick live chat demo in an hour if you follow their tutorial: http://socket.io/get-started/chat/ I actually used this library for two of my Arduino microcontroller projects: http://www.webondevices.com/arduino-nodejs-rc-car-driven-with-html5-gamepad-api/ http://www.webondevices.com/the-arduino-plant-with-javascript-voice-recognition/

Use WebSocket or better WebRTC with Data Channels for P2P communication.
