I'm running a messaging program that currently invokes a JQuery ajax call to a Web Method to post messages and a method that checks the server on a set interval using a JQuery method, again backed by a Web Method. In short, I do interval polling.
I know this won't scale. I'm looking for a few suggestions as to what I could do that would perhaps have server side events driving everything. As in, they push new data as it comes in, as opposed to the client constantly checking. I know signalR may be one option. Are there others?
