Open Web Interface for .NET, or OWIN for short, defines a standard interface between .NET web servers and web applications. The goal of the OWIN interface is to decouple server and application, encourage the development of simple modules for .NET web development, and, by being an open standard, stimulate the open source ecosystem of .NET web development tools.This session will cover the reasons why the OWIN specification came to be, what problems it solves and how you can use it with to create (and test!) OWIN compliant applications. We will also explore how easy it is to compose an application consisting of multiple frameworks including NancyFX, Signalr, WebAPI and more and how the OWIN paradigm underpins AspNet vNext.
