Hello everyone, I'm a web developer in Canada, just starting out. One of my classmates proposed that I develop a chat application for a client of hers, and I have absolutely no clue where to start. I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
1.The chat application will be able to handle multiple connections to one "room".
2.Possible smilie support. :cool:
3.Real time update - no "HTML refresh" chat script.
4.And it will be linked to a user system so that only registered users of the site can participate in the chat room.
With all of this in mind, can someone suggest the best language to build ths application in, and possibly some resources on language references. I am mostly familiar with PHP.
