SignalR Tutorials

Welcome to the official Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) tutorials for ASP.NET SignalR. SignalR is a library for developers that simplifies the process of adding real-time web functionality to applications. SignalR supports pluggable transports, including Server-Sent Events (SSE) and WebSockets, and automatically detects and uses the best available transport. This means your application will be in sync with the server in near real-time.
