Project overview

When building a head-to-head game app, it is really important to have real-time communication because the user expects the other players’ moves to arrive more or less immediately. To achieve this, we will use SignalR, which is a library for real-time communication. SignalR will use WebSockets if they are available and, if not, it will have several fallback options it can use instead. In the app, we will use SignalR to send updates on player and game status through the Azure Functions that we built in Chapter 9.

The build time for this project is about 180 minutes.

Hindrikes

Hindrikes

Daniel Hindrikes is a developer and architect with a passion for developing mobile apps powered by the cloud. Daniel fell in love with Xamarin in the early days of Xamarin when he realized that he could use C# even for iOS and Android apps, and that he could share code with the Windows apps he was also building. But Daniel started to build mobile apps long before that, working on Android apps with Java and even Java ME apps (a long, long time ago). Daniel enjoys sharing his knowledge and can be found speaking at conferences, blogging, or recording the podcast, The Code Behind. Daniel works at the company tretton37 in Sweden and has experience working with both local and global customers.
