In this conversation, we speak with Javier Lozano about the ASP.NET SignalR library in between sessions at Nebraska Code Camp. ASP.NET SignalR makes developing real-time web functionality easy, allowing bi-directional communication between server and client. SignalR directly supports Web Sockets but also falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers, giving you the benefit of Web Sockets-style support even if your users aren’t on browsers that directly support it!
Javier takes us into the world of the real-time, bi-directional web and explains how its possible to support user-scenarios and interactivity over the web in ways previously considered impossible.
