Thanks Daniel, that was useful, I will check those links :) I am pretty good with PHP and jQuery. So I guess learning Node.js shouldn't be too difficult.
If I decided to use Node.js - what is the best way to communicate with a browser to AMI process? Send a XML or HTTP command from a browser to AMI process .. or whatever I execute on the browser - it save the commands to the database.. a process will listen the commands from a database. Other options are http requests and do the ipc... or maybe WebSocket?
