Chapter 11. Hosting a Server Using Self-hosted OWIN
This chapter will cover how to host SignalR outside the comfort of a web server. There are occasions where you need to be more lightweight, or simply host things inside a .NET client or similar.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- Getting started with self-hosted OWIN
- Connecting a .NET client to the self-hosted server
At this stage, the developer should be familiar with how the server works and how to set it up in their own app. They should have a working sample of the chat working with the OWIN server. The developer should also be familiar with how and why to scale out the messaging aspect of SignalR.
