Simple Server-Client Pub-Sub using SignalR
The Pub-Sub pattern is a great way to keep interested parties up-to-date on changes in state.

It’s the last Friday of September. Time for another cat pic and some links! [more] I’ve been working on some simplified ASP.NET Identity samples lately, something that shows how cleanly it can be implemented if you remove some of the bad design and noise that the VS project template adds.

I’ve been quietly shipping preview releases of new things for SpecsFor for the last couple of months. It’s time to finally get these things promoted to “final” status and talk about them.
