We’ve built web sites for years on the idea that they were stateless and changes occurred on a callback to the server. That’s changing in a big way, and you can leverage your .NET skills to get up to speed.
The web is becoming stateful, real-time enabled, and programmable. In this talk, we will build a practical example of a real-time board game built on HTML5 and JavaScript that gets realtime state updates from a server that self-hosts SignalR. All players can see what is happening as it happens. The server exposes a public API that outside developers can use to extend your platform and add more value. Starting at File > New Project, you will get an introduction to the HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript object patterns, ASP.NET SignalR, and how to embed a JavaScript engine for extensibility right in your server.
Start building extensible and powerful web applications after seeing how the way the web works is changing for good.
