In this chapter, we're going to move away from the web sphere and focus on the mobile space. After all, SignalR knows no boundaries. The team has been great at providing support not only for JavaScript but all types of clients (Windows Phone is the one among these). There are multiple programming models and versions; this chapter will focus on the model for the future: Windows Phone 8.1 RT-based. This is a converged model that blends with Windows 8.x store apps and will also be the one that Windows 10 is based on, which takes this convergence across all Microsoft's platforms. In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
Briefly discuss XAML and binding
MVVM in XAML
Using SignalR .NET Client
Using Bifrost Client
Using Yggdrasil as an IOC container
