pubsub questions

[Han Nguyen <hn...@us.ibm.com>]

Hello,
I'm a JavaScript and Shindig newbie. I have 2 questions:
1. I have the pubsub sample working, and would like to learn more on how 
the pubsub and rpc code work. Could anyone please explain or give me some 
pointers?

2. I did an alert on the on the router of the pubsub.js "alert('pubsub: '
+router);", it displayed

pubsub: function A(E, C, D) {
    var F = B[E];
    if (typeof F === "function") {
        F(C, D);
    }

What are those letters? the original source code didn't look like that. Is 
it somehow compressed? if so then can I turn compress off? if not please 
explain.

Thanks!
Han

I'd start by reading the rather thorough transport layer documentation found
in the source code itself that John H wrote.

For integration, you probably want to look here:

Adding debug=1 to either the iframe url or the script source will give you
the uncompressed version.

There are two versions of the JS files. One for production that is
compressed and one for dev that isn't. Add "debug=1" to your URL to see
the dev version.
