SignalR

Anyone dealt with SignalR before, can comment on implications for
access from Pharo? Its originally a Microsoft layer on top of
Websockets but there also exist  Javascript and Python libraries.

Hi Ben,

At the moment I experimenting  with different Shiny like techniques in different environments: python - Tornado, Pharo - Teapot and also SignalR - c#.

As far as I know, SignalR uses Websockets including a fall-back mechanism and a so called „hub“, which calls JS in the client or do some RPC like call of a c# method at the server. But I’m still learning the details for myself

It might be possible to call it from Pharo, but my (long) experience with Microsoft stuff is that they are a little bit in their own world which makes the things tricky. Although, the Microsoft today has a far more open style.

Cheers

Hans
