Hi,

I'm very interested in learning about the new feature in html5 called web sockets. I've looked into it and have come out with a few questions.

It seems that before I can start implementing this new technology into a web application of mine I need to have a web server which supports it. Does this involve downloading something and installing it on the said server? Is there more than one available? If so where do I find these?

I already have experience with JavaScript and html/css of course, Are there any other languages I will need to learn to start using web sockets?

Any additional information that you think I might need to know would be appreciated.
