Real-Time For Fun And Sockets

Web applications have always needed real-time communication but developers haven't had an elegant way to make it happen. At last, all major browsers support WebSockets, a modern real-time protocol. If you're wanting to plot a chart in real-time, update a user as things happen or otherwise prevent them from having to constantly hit refresh, you need real-time communication. This talk will break down how tools like SockJS and ASP.NET SignalR make it easy to add this real-time channel to any application. It will compare both the server and client sides of things and get into some new complexities that WebSockets add to the mix. You'll leave this talk wanting to rebuild how Eventbrite ticket sales go live and burn any computer running an old browser.
