:  |  Silverlight + LAMP question...
Ok, as some of you know, I occasionally do some work for a local high school sports site.
I want to do something similar to a "game tracker", with near-real-time updates of what's going on in the game (preferably without using a timer).
I was originally going to use Silverlight and sockets, but the site is hosted on a Linux system, so it's a LAMP stack. Although, I could use Silverlight for the front-end, I don't really know how to handle (or what to do about) the back-end of things. It would be database driven.
Ideally, I would want the system to work this way:
A play happens. Someone inserts the play into an interface (web-based), which the client detects, and then the client updates. The entire system would be web-based. For an idea of what I'm talking about refer to the MLB Gameday system, or NFL GameTrax (I think that's what it's called).
I know this sounds a LOT like sockets.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could do this? I'm thinking this may be something I could sell to other schools as well.
Anyway, I was thinking of using Silverlight and PHP somehow. The database on the backend is (obviously) MySQL.
Any ideas, or a point in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.Started By Monte on Nov 1, 2010 at 11:47:52 AM | | | 18 Response(s) | Reply |

Silverlight + PHP/JSON seems to be working at this point...
I decided to go with a 10-second timer.
