SignalR, Part 2 of 2: Hubs and Custom Data Stream

Course description

This course will cover SignalR in connection with Hubs. You will start learning by building a simple Hub and then move to client calling server and server calling client as well as specific methods on specific connections. You will also learn about return types, round-tripping state and detecting connection status. Then you will also learn about Broadcast over a Hub from the outside and Hubs without a proxy. Then you will learn to use SignalR to build a custom data stream.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
