Real-Time Cross-Platform App with SignalR and Xamarin. ASP.NET SignalR is a library for developers that simplifies the process of adding real-time web functionality to applications. Real-time web functionality is the ability to have server code push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available, rather than having the server wait for a client to request new data. The ASP.NET SignalR Client not only works in JavaScript and browsers, but also .NET applications such as Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Windows Phone and Windows Store. The .NET client uses the System.Net.Http namespace to connect to a SignalR server.
