From Zero to Hero: SignalR in .NET
Enable enterprise-grade real-time communication for your web apps with SignalR
About This Course
SignalR is a powerful library for ASP.NET Core that enables real-time,
bidirectional communication between server and client applications. It abstracts
away the complexity of WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, and Long Polling,
automatically selecting the best transport method available while providing
a simple, consistent API for developers. Real-time features have become essential
for modern web applications, from live chat and notifications to collaborative
editing and live dashboards. SignalR makes implementing these features in .NET
straightforward and production-ready, with built-in support for scaling, security,
and multiple client platforms. Companies like Microsoft Teams, Stack Overflow,
and countless enterprise applications rely on SignalR to power their real-time
features. In this comprehensive 8-hour course, instructor Nick Proud will
take you from your first SignalR connection to building enterprise-grade,
scalable real-time applications with authentication, streaming, and production deployment strategies.
