SignalR is a new async signaling library for .NET developed and maintained by David Fowler and Damian Edwars from Microsoft’s ASP.NET and NuGet teams.

If you ever wanted to push data from the server to clients (and not just browser clients!) in real time with ease, SignalR will be your perfect companion.

Unit Testing is an inseparable part of the development process, no matter which methodology you follow, be it TDD, or BDD, you know for sure that this investment is worthwhile, enabling early bug fixes, safe refactoring, and better design.

You want to test your JavaScript code but don’t know where to start? Which tools to pick? And how to integrate it all with your IDE?

Let's take a look at the tools. Let's see how to combine them to play nicely together in, and hopefully, try making Testing a breeze.

Building Modular JavaScript Application with AMD and RequireJS

Building Modular JavaScript Application with AMD and RequireJS Presentation

The rule of thumb when things get complex is usually to break it down to smaller, more manageable, and loosely coupled units.

Yet, JavaScript (or say ECMAScript) in its current form, doesn't provide any so-called concept of Module or Package or any kind of logical unit of deployment.

This is where AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition), and Require.JS comes into play.

With Require.JS, you can lay out a solid, scale-able architecture, and come up with maintainable and testable units of code.
