what does real time mean? as per my understanding, real time is meant to update live data. But in this case i`m confused with an e-commerce site. What i do is, I update things in admin panel and the user panel (the actual site) is updated. So is this also real time ?
Please clarify my understanding here.
Kind Regards,
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :
The real-time web is a set of technologies and practices that enable users to receive information as soon as it is published by its authors, rather than requiring that they or their software check a source periodically for updates.
According to this definition of Real-time in web technologies, the answer of fmodos is acceptable.
Is also acceptable any technical solution that would do the update of the content without requiring any user interaction with the website : Ajax-methods, Push-methods, Timer/Loop-methods, also represent a valid option in your case.
