Good stuff. Has anyone used SignalR before? I imagine it's a lot easier to use that instead of rolling your own.

Yes, SignalR is awesome. Easy to get started, regular updates and great support from the devs at jabbr.net.

SignalR is nice, but it does not use WebSockets out of the box.

If you're in need of a WebSocket library that works on .NET 4.0 or Mono, there is Fleck[1].

Nice. What sets Fleck apart from the rest?

Edit - Whoa, wait a minute. You're Neumont grad? I'm cohort 9 :)

Cohort 15 ;)

A couple of features:

- Simple API that requires no inheritance.

- Mono is a first class citizen in development.

- Reasonably RFC compliant[1].

- Proof of concept adapter for SignalR[2].
