PHINUG July 2018 Dev Session
July 26, 2018
I was invited to be one of the guest speakers in Philippine .Net Users Group Monthly Session, It was my first time in PHINUG as a speaker and looking back I used to attend to their events a lot as an audience and dreamt of being the person in front talking someday.
Earlier this year Microsoft has shipped ASP.NET Core 2.1. This is a powerful release that includes the real-time communication library SignalR, updated templates to make GDPR compliance easier, and updated SPA templates for Angular, React and React + Redux.
I did a talk about the features of SignalR and the latest updates that are included in SignalR 2.1, I showed a list of possible uses of SignalR and some of the examples I gave were (Weather Forecasting, Chat Messaging, Games, Whiteboard, etc.), I showed them how to get started with SignalR using plain Javascript since the latest version of SignalR removed its dependency with JQuery.
I also did a demo on how to add Authentication and Authorization with IdentityServer4 to have a secure connection with SignalR and also showed them how to combine it with Angular in creating a Single Page Application (SPA) with real-time updates.
