New documentation: Monitoring for Transactions with WebSocket

[mDuo13 2,319]

We recently launched a new interactive tutorial on the XRP Ledger Dev Portal, showing how to Monitor Incoming Payments with WebSocket. It has JavaScript examples that don't use ripple-lib, so you can hopefully adapt them to other programming languages. (In fact, if you do go through the exercise to re-create any of the sample code in other programming languages, please contribute your code samples back using the "Edit on GitHub" button on the page!)

It has interactive sections that let you connect to a public XRP Test Net server using WebSocket, and subscribe to transactions affecting a particular account, and summarize how much XRP they delivered. (You may need to use the Transaction Sender to actually send some payments while you're monitoring.)

I hope this guide is useful and easy to understand. We welcome your feedback, so I'd love to hear from you if you find the docs useful, confusing, or if you have ideas for how to improve them!
