After 10 months of being released as WordPress’s new default editor, Gutenberg is still shrugged off by a sizable amount of people from the web development community, who frequently cite as reasons to disregard it its lack of accessibility support (even though major accessibility improvements have taken place), how slow it is (even though it is running much faster now), and several other grievances.

In the first part of this article, we discussed the resurgence of lettering, we defined the differences between lettering, calligraphy, and typeface design, and we also discussed pens, papers, and other supplies. In this second part, I will share with you how I got started, my journey, and will also share specific tips on how to start. Let's get started. When I decided to practice lettering daily, I was a tad overwhelmed with the options: Crayola (there is even a term for it, crayligraphy), pointed pen, brushes, illustrative lettering, lettering, calligraphy (Copperplate and Spencerian), modern calligraphy, and so on.

In this article we will go through the following concepts. The pub/sub design pattern, also known as "the Hollywood design pattern" Basic web socket theory, and how to publish and subscribe to socket messages Authorisation to prevent malicious users from intercepting our messages How Magic automatically solves a lot of your socket related problems Finally we'll show and tell with a video how Magic's web socket implementation is tied together Web Sockets allows for a bidirectional communication channel, through which your server can "push" data to the client, triggering events on the client when something occurs on the server. This has huge advantages for some types of web apps, such as for instance trading systems, chat clients, and apps where you need to see live updates in your client as changes occurs on the server. However, wiring up a web socket module manually is also ridiculously complex, making sockets effectively unavailable for most developers. For these reasons dozens of helper libraries and modules have been created to simplify the subject. For PHP there's Laravel Sockets. In this article I will walk you through how to use web sockets in Magic using SignalR, and I will be focusing on the server side parts mostly, since this is the most difficult part. However, once you understand how sockets works in Magic on the server side, you can easily implement the client side of the equation using SignalR's Angular implementation, ReactJS implementation, etc.
