The document discusses using asynchronous Python and web sockets for real-time applications. It covers how web sockets work and improve on older techniques like AJAX and long polling by providing a full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection. Example use cases for web sockets include tracking systems, monitoring, logging, and multiplayer games. The document also provides code examples for using web sockets in vanilla JavaScript and with Python backend tools like Tornado and Django Channels.
