How realtime web applications are developed ?

Question

I always wanted to get in to realtime & collaborative web application development. But couldn't find any good resource that would guide my existing knowledge of PHP/MySQL/jQuery/AJAX/XML/JSON to the realtime web applications development. I want some reading resources, that would allow me to practice my existing knowledge in terms of realtime application development, and if required to learn new tools/technology i would love to.

I will really appreciate any of your feedbacks.

Regards

Go on GitHub and find a project to play with.

If you want a "real" application to play with you can try Ignited Blog. Disclaimer: My own project

You can also just look for basic PHP language projects on GitHub.
