AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It’s a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11 AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV<\/a> and learn more about Azure.<\/p>\n

\"AzureFunBytes<\/p>\n

This week on AzureFunBytes we’ll be discussing how to make your applications real-time with SignalR. SignalR is a library that developers can add real-time functionality making code push content to connected clients in an instant rather than waiting for the client to request data from the server.<\/p>\n

SignalR supports “server push” functionality, in which server code can call out to client code in the browser using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), rather than the request-response model common on the web today.<\/p>\n

Azure SignalR Service<\/h2>\n

What’s the Azure tie in here? Well if you’d like to create these types of real-time functionality features there’s Azure SignalR Service. The Microsoft docs page “What is Azure SignalR Service?<\/a>” describes the service as:<\/p>\n

“…simplifies the process of adding real-time web functionality to applications over HTTPS. This real-time functionality allows the service to push content updates to connected clients, such as a single page web or mobile application. As a result, clients are updated without the need to poll the server, or submit new HTTPS requests for updates.”<\/em><\/p>\n

There are a number of use cases for Azure SignalR like gaming, dashboards, chat, real-time locations, IoT, and many more. You can find a full list of examples on this docs page<\/a> along with some of the key benefits…<\/p>\n

To show me how to get started using Azure SignalR service, I’ve reached out once again to Microsoft Senior Cloud Advocate Lead Chris Noring<\/a>. Chris will discuss implementation, use cases, and take your questions about SignalR.<\/p>\n
