Using SignalR to broadcast a slide deck
Dec 1106Last week, Ive discussed Techniques for real-time client-server communication on the web (SignalR to the rescue). Weve seen that when building web applications, you often face the fact that HTTP, the foundation of the web, is a request/response protocol.

Also, since its request-based, there is no way to send messages from the serv...

Learning about Progressive Enhancement - Supporting Mobile Browsers with CSS3 Media Queries
Aug 1125I blogged about how happy I've been working with designer Jeremy Kratz on my recent site redesign. We've been meeting lately about small improvements and tweaks. One of the core goals was to support many screen sizes from 30 down to a small smart phone screen. You can see the results on the right in a Windows Phone and iPhone. My team is doing a lot of work on Mobile lately, not just with things like jQuery Mobile and what that means not just for ASP.NET but the mobile web in general. We've...
