APE (Ajax Push Engine) is an Open Source technology allowing you to do real time data streaming through a web browser with no applets and no plugins. The project is divided in two part, the APE Server and the APE JavaScript Framework.

The APE Server written in the C language enables data to be pushed to Rich Internet Application, while the APE JavaScript Framework (JSF) receive and send back data, deal them and display them.

What do I need to start using APE ?

The first thing you need to start using APE is to have knowledge in JavaScript programming.

Moreover, you will need a Linux dedicated server in order to install the APE Server. (For now, the APE Server only installs on Linux 2.6.16+ Kernel)

How to run own APE Server

There are two different ways to use the APE Server on a dedicated server :

* APE has his own dedicated IP in order to use port 80 (See : How to configure the APE Server on port 80 ?)
* APE is used on a server where it gets along with Apache (See : How to configure the APE Server with Apache ?)

Once you know what option you could (or want) to use, you’ll need to download the lastest build of the APE Server, and follow the Setup Manual. Within few steps you will be able to start creating your own real time web application !

Notice that the first choice is highly more scalable (since data are not proxied through Apache).
