RealTime communication with SingalR…

The upcoming Fall Release of VS2012 has some really great updates, bringing back OData, SPA, and now SingnalR.

If you get a chance take a look at Scott Guthrie’s keynote session where he goes through it (SignalR -- along with a demo of New Relic – which rocks).

SignalR is a hub/client model that leverages javascript to provide real time broadcast and point to point call backs from the hub to clients.  So, you can make some really cool sh**t with it.

Here’s a simple chat that was done with just a few lines of code:
