Writing real-time applications for the web has always been difficult. Building long-polling, comet connections or even using WebSockets requires a long development cycle. Dealing with the different networking scenarios can be a huge headache. That's where SignalR comes to the rescue.
SignalR is library that allows you to build a publish-subscribe messaging system that can push real-time updates directly to a browser, mobile app, or anything using JavaScript, C# or Java. The SignalR team have done the hard work of figuring out how to do this without you having to know all the messy details of proxy servers, disconnection timeouts, or firewalls.
In this new micro-course, Shawn Wildermuth shows you how to build a simple SignalR app inside of an ASP.NET Core application that supports multi-casting to different types of clients. He shows you how to build a type-safe Hub and how to call it from clients and from inside of MVC Controllers.
Here is the cirruculum covered in the course:
