I like how Web API allows to create a RESTful interface. Also I like how Signal-R allow you to push updates to clients.
But is OK to use both at the same time? I mean, Signal-R keeps a connection to the server all the time (or simulates that with long polling), is not a waste of resources to continue creating different connection to perform interactions in Web API?
I could interact with the server through the Signal-R connection, but then I loose all the great Web API functionality.
Cheers.
