Great article! I am thinking of using signalr and backbone for an asp .net backend. I am new to all of these, do you have any tips on ramping up quickly on these frameworks?

shorter is irrelevant. clean separation of concerns is more important. my application objects have their own set of events and their own responsibilities.

but if you want to do it that way, nothing stopping you :)

Derick, why do you use vent object to rise events?
You can use Application to rise events – simply inherit Events to Application
I use it in my projects – it’s shorter :)

Right. It’s off-topic I know. It’s not SignalR actually, but IIS. IIS < 8.0 does not support Websockets. The only I know to support websockets on windows 2008 is to run node in a separate process. It works fine, but need to watch server reboots.

oh, i thought it supported them all over the place. :P

either way, the idea of the socketadapter class still works. i’ve done one project with signalr like this, and am about to start another that will work the same way :)

SignalR only supports websockets on Windows 8 / IIS 8

I only bring it up, because I’m not sure everyone understands that. I know it’s not important to the concepts you’re discussing. (in other words, sorry if it looks like I’m trolling)
