Anyone know anything about SignalR, and how it could be used with Elevate
WebBuilder and Delphi? Pointers welcome.

At first glance, their site says that it uses WebSockets to do the
bi-directional communication and push operations, and falls back to
something else for older browsers (probably some form of polling).  You can
do WebSockets with EWB, but it requires the external interface still, which
I haven't coded yet.

Thanks. My limited understanding (from listening to the Tablet Show) is that it
provides the packet assembly, or something, to make it easy to open channels and
talk and the like. So sort of like RemObjects but more of a standard. Future
projects might include PhoneGap apps talking to each other and so a
non-platform-specific framework that makes it easy would be worth having. I'll see
if I find anything, and by the time I've learned about it, you can add stuff to EWB
2.3 for it. 8-)

Actually, with EWB 2.x - *you* can add it.
