I have a demo to create for a tradeshow. We have 3 touch screens and 3 50" plasmas and 3 G1 (android WiFi) phones. Our own LAN/Router/Wi-Fi. I need a way so that I can use web pages and Flash (actionscript) to make stuff happen on any of the displays/phones. So you click a button on the touch screen and see something happen on the plasma. Or G1 interface application triggers .flv on touch screen, etc. So I need some kind of messaging queue over the LAN and that each CPU can both send and recieve? I could use mySQL as an intermediary to store the data (like strings of text entered or whatever and pass the record IDs around), or use some other XML/JSON/AJAX or something. I just don't even know what I'm talking about really. Is this what DBUS is for? It must work with PHP as we'll have web pages triggering the .flv as well and of course ActionScript has to be able to work with it (that's why I was thinking mySQL, AJAX, XML, etc.). Ideas? Suggestions? someone was telling me about AMQP or RabbitMQ. But neither is PHP-ified that I can tell. http://www.nabble.com/PHP-AMQP-client--td12935751.html ...and I realize that PHP will run in a web page mostly and I'll have to do some magic like polling something (like a daemon or DB) via JS/AJAX to see if I need to pop-up an alert or whatever -- much like a bulletin board does when you get new mail. Step 1: get communication between all computers to work Step 2: Step 3: profit!
