Overview of this book

With the rise in the number of tools and technologies available today, developers and architects are always exploring ways to create better and smarter solutions. Before, the differences between target platforms was a major roadblock, but that's not the case now. .NET Core 2.0 By Example will take you on an exciting journey to building better software. This book provides fresh and relevant content to .NET Core 2.0 in a succinct format that’s enjoyable to read. It also delivers concepts, along with the implications, design decisions, and potential pitfalls you might face when targeting Linux and Windows systems, in a logical and simple way. With the .NET framework at its center, the book comprises of five varied projects: a multiplayer Tic-tac-toe game; a real-time chat application, Let'sChat; a chatbot; a microservice-based buying-selling application; and a movie booking application. You will start each chapter with a high-level overview of the content, followed by the above example applications described in detail. By the end of each chapter, you will not only be proficient with the concepts, but you’ll also have created a tangible component in the application. By the end of the book, you will have built five solid projects using all the tools and support provided by the .NET Core 2.0 framework.

SignalR


SignalR is a library for ASP.NET developers for developing real-time web experiences. In traditional web applications, the client makes requests and the server responds. With SignalR, we have the ability to push the content from the  server to the connected clients in real time. SignalR provides a simple API for creating server-to-client remote procedure calls that call JavaScript functions in client browsers (and other client platforms) from server-side .NET code. Anywhere in an application, if we need to refresh the browser for fresh data or have polling code wriiten to refresh the data, SignalR may be a good candidate for this. Some real-world applications of SignalR are chat applications where multiple users can chat, dashboards for monitoring, stock ticker applications that update a stock price as and when it changes, and multiplayer games. Basically, for any app that needs to display live data, SignalR makes it incredibly simple to broadcast a message to all clients, a group...
