Course Overview

One of the common problems with a growing number of web applications around the world is the ability to control and manage state.  The Internet is built on the foundation of being stateless, but our users don’t want to have to refresh constantly to see if new data is available.  Providing state updates to users is problem solved in a variety of ways, all depending on the server architecture you’re using and the browser your user is using.

SignalR provides a single set of tools that takes the guesswork out of building real-time web applications, as well as providing a foundation for connecting non-web based applications.  Learn what “real-time” means, how your application can profit from using it, and how to quickly add real-time features to new and existing applications.
