Deno WebSockets: Real-Time Apps the Modern Way

Move beyond Node.js! Deno—created by the original Node.js author—brings **security, simplicity, and TypeScript by default** to backend development. In this Net Ninja WebSockets tutorial, you’ll build real-time chat apps, live dashboards, and multiplayer features using Deno’s native WebSocket support—no npm, no package.json, no legacy baggage.

What You’ll Build

  • A real-time group chat app with Deno backend and vanilla JS frontend
  • A live sports scoreboard that updates instantly for all connected clients
  • A collaborative whiteboard using WebSocket broadcasting

Key Skills You’ll Learn

  • Deno runtime fundamentals—permissions, modules, standard library
  • WebSocket server setup using Deno’s built-in Deno.serve and acceptWebSocket
  • Client-server messaging—send, receive, and broadcast JSON payloads
  • Connection management—track active clients, handle disconnects gracefully
  • Deployment—run your Deno WebSocket server on Deno Deploy or AWS

Why Deno in 2025?

  • No node_modules—imports via URLs, like a browser
  • TypeScript out of the box—no Babel or tsconfig needed
  • Secure by default—explicit file, network, and env permissions
  • Fast adoption—used by MongoDB, Cloudflare, and modern startups

Who Is This For?

  • Node.js developers curious about Deno
  • Frontend devs wanting full-stack real-time skills
  • Students building portfolio projects with modern tooling
  • Entrepreneurs validating live-data MVPs

From Static to Real-Time

This course bridges the gap between traditional HTTP APIs and the live, interactive web users expect today. You’ll graduate with a deployable real-time app—and the confidence to use Deno in production.
