    Real-Time Reporting with SignalR, Kendo UI DataViz, and Icenium Part 2

    In the first part of this series, we created our SignalR hub and added a simple web form that allowed us to push data to our client apps in real-time. With our server-side code and hub complete, we now need to get into Icenium and create the most important part of our project - the hybrid mobile app. For this exercise we are going to stay inside of Visual Studio and use the new Icenium Extension for Visual Studio.
