How to make a real-time collaborative text  editor in 5 easy steps! // Rudi Chen

With the rise of cloud applications, more and more software is becoming collaborative. That is, multiple people can be viewing and editing the same document or information at the same time. This can lead to tricky issues figuring out what the end result should be when two users simultaneously do conflicting operations (e.g. in Google Docs, two users typing in the same place). The conflict-resolution algorithms so solve these problems are increasingly important, but selfdom mentioned in any curriculum. This talk will present a newer approach to build a collaborative text editor easier to understand than common techniques found on the Internet. The technique will be presented one small layer of complexity at the time, such that at every step, the audience can get an intuition for the nature of the solution and be easily be convinced that it works. I’ll also make sure to un-dry the technical aspects talk by using humor and analogies to kiwis and water buffalos.
