Ground Gurus Angular and SignalR Bootcamp
July 22, 2017
After more than a year from my first ever technical talk, I decided to do another hands-on workshop with the help of Ground Gurus and this time it is not only about Angular but I added SignalR in order to create a Real-time Web Application.
It was very fun especially because I get to experience sharing again some of my knowledge and also gaining new ones in the process, I did an introduction of Angular 2 and its core such as (Components, Modules, Directives, Routing and Services). I informed them about the difference between Angular which is a component-based architecture which is written in Typescript and AngularJS which is Model-View-Controller based architecture and written in Javascript.
In order for us to create a Real-time web application, I introduced ASP.NET SignalR which is a library that makes building real-time application possible. SignalR allows bi-directional communication between server and client. Where servers can now push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available. SignalR supports Web Sockets and falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers such as (ForeverFrame, Long polling and Server-Sent Events).
