Wow, i was digging around this morning and took some time to learn about WebHooks, and especially the fact that they have Microsoft provided support with the new ASP.NET 5 stack coming out soon.

Basically, WebHooks is a peer to peer integration model based on HTTP and loose messages.

In other words, one system (think github) can send messages to another system (think TFS) whenever an action (think a code commit) is done. Isn’t this great !!

I was working with this kind of integration in a previous startup (although based on a hubs and routing instead of peer to peer and twitter like messages instead of custom payloads) and i am happy to see that the web as a whole is catching up to these concepts.

Here are a few links for definitions :

• What are webhooks and how do they enable a real-time web?
• Webhook at Wikipedia

Now for some actual code, head on down to the github repository :

• The documentation
• The code

Enjoy !
