After several examples where a single client was involved at a time, we'll start looking at scenarios where multiple clients are connected at the same time, and we'll start making them interact. We will see how a Hub can call back into all the connected clients from the context of a single remote method call performed by just one of them.

Getting ready

Before proceeding, we need to create a new empty web application, which we'll call Recipe07.

How to do it…

As usual, we need some simple steps to get started as follows:

1. Add a Hub called EchoHub.
2. Add an OWIN Startup class named Startup with its Configuration() method containing just a simple ...
