How to properly build a real-time web site?

Question

ASP.NET

How to assemble a real-time site like VKontakte?
With the team we are making an interactive site that will constantly communicate with the server and asynchronous events.
After reading the articles, I came to the conclusion that we will communicate with the server through WebSockets , and the server part on ASP.NET WebAPI (because there is a good experience with webapi , but there is no time to study other backend features).
I want to make a frontend with ReactJs and with rx.js.
Does anyone have experience building similar applications? If yes, please share.
If you have come across articles about creating such applications, then please post links here.

Answer 1

Look towards ASP.NET SignaR , it was developed for this.

Answer 2

Do not bother yourself with dot-net, you are tormented. Since you are going to learn js for the frontend anyway, take Meteor.js or Derby right away. and everything will be realtime out of the box.

Answer 3

Very abstract description :) Regarding Rx + React, I think you can get the general impression by looking at a couple of examples, such as TodoMVC, etc.
