I want to learn how to write a program that lets several users interact with the same content, online. Examples include a multi-user text editor, a chatroom, or an online game. What do I need to learn? What should I read?
There seems to have been a minor misunderstanding. I wish to learn how to write such programs, rather than use such programs (though I certainly can learn a thing or two from those of the above which are opensource).
You could take a look at WebSockets. Not sure if it is finalized yet or the API is stable. When I first started working with them my code would break every new version of Chrome.

Hate when faggots invent stupid terms, instead of simple `read` and `write`.
MySQL retards even renamed `write` to `update` and `read` to `select`.
