Building Realtime Web Applications With ASP.NET SignalR
This document discusses building real-time web applications and introduces SignalR as a library that simplifies creating persistent HTTP connections for real-time functionality. It describes how older techniques like polling and long polling have disadvantages, while newer techniques like web sockets have limited browser support. SignalR abstracts these complexities by automatically negotiating the best transport and allowing real-time functionality to be easily added to applications. It also enables scaling out applications across servers and backing services. Demos and components of SignalR are presented, along with how it provides a fallback mechanism to support older servers and clients.

- 4. Real-time Application? Real-time functionalityis the ability to have server code push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available, rather than having the server wait for a client to request new data.

- 7. How to buildreal-time web apps?
- 8. HTTP is anold beast… Never designed for real-time communications Web is all about request-response Web is stateless
- 10. Periodic polling Pollfrom time to time using Ajax Delay in communication due to polling interval Wastes bandwidth & latency Server Client Polling interval
- 11. Long polling Pollbut doesn’t respond until there's data Poll again after data received or after the connection times out Consumes server & threads & connection resources Server Client
- 12. Forever Frame Servertells client that response is chucked Client keeps connection open until server closes it Server pushed data to the client followed by 0 Consumes server threads Server Client
- 13. HTML5 Web sockets Extension to HTTP Provides raw sockets over HTTP Full-duplex Traverses proxies It's still a draft Not every proxy server supports it Not every web server supports it Not every browser supports it They are raw sockets!
