Web Application Development on Meteor Platform
Hlaváček, Josef ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Mittner, Jan (referee)
The thesis describes the Meteor Platform and the process of real-time web application design and development. The objective is to provide information covering the technology behind real-time web applications and to describe the Meteor application design and development process utilizing the MMSP methodology. First part of the thesis defines what a real-time web application is and describes Node.js platform and javascript frameworks Mojito, Derby and Meteor. The second part deals with Meteor application design and development process and provides information about used architecture and components. The last chapter provides recommendation on Meteor application development and suitability of the framework for various types of applications, as well as utilization of the MMSP methodology for Meteor application development. The main output and benefit of the thesis is the real-time web application Chute Achiever, which can be used for educational purposes. This thesis is the first academic work about Meteor platform published at the University of Economics.

Real-time web applications
Paulech, Matej ; Mittner, Jan (advisor) ; Buchalcevová, Alena (referee)
This paper discusses real-time web applications. Its main purpose is to familiarize the reader with the term "real-time web application" and the technologies behind creating real-time web applications with an emphasis on a practical demonstration. The first chapter is about the history of World Wide Web, the description of the HTTP protocol and the definition of real-time web applications. The second chapter describes the technologies used in other parts of the work, mainly their implications and usage in developing real-time web applications. Technologies like JavaScript, JSON, Ajax (XHR, JSONP), jQuery library and server solution Node.js will be mentioned. The third chapter is the major part of the paper. It deals with the techniques of a real-time client communicating with the server, also called transport models. Each technique and its description is accompanied by a picture showing the client's communication with the server and an example source code. At the end of the third chapter, the solutions mentioned are widely used by programmers, specifically the Ajax Push Engine (APE), the Socket.IO library and the service Pusher.com. The fourth, the last chapter of the paper, contains a description of the demonstration web application created for the purpose of this work - a multi-user group chat. It is mainly a description of its features and how you prepare an environment to run real-time web applications. It also contains a tutorial how to create a basic "skeleton" for real-time web application using Node.js server solution, Express framework and Socket.IO library. The source code of the sample application is located on the enclosed DVD, and digitally as an attachment on the VSE information system and it is also uploaded at Github. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and coherent description of technologies behind creating real-time web applications with a provided example source code for a demonstration for each technique.
