Going real-time with ASP.NET Core SignalR and the Azure SignalR Service

Online chat, realtime dashboards, social media sites and even games are just a few examples of where real-time technology can make a huge impact on user experience. ASP.NET Core SignalR is an open-source library that simplifies adding real-time functionality to your applications. In this episode, Anthony Chu (@nthonyChu) comes on to talk about how we can get started with ASP.NET Core SignalR. He also shows us how the Azure SignalR Service allows us to easily scale our real-time connections. 01:26 - What is SignalR? 02:10 - Why would we want to use SignalR instead of polling? 03:03 - (Demo) How do we setup SignalR? 08:48 - What are the scaling options for SignalR? 12:00 - How does the SignalR service help with scaling? 13:40- (Demo) How do we add the SignalR Service to an application? 18:07 - How can other languages or services integrate with Azure Functions? 19:23 - (Demo) How can we wire up the Azure Functions SignalR Binding? 25:17 - Where we can learn more and check out the demos?
