AWDG: Real Communication with Real People in Real Time with WebRTC. For Reals.

We take care of the messy telecom hardware and expose a globally available cloud API that developers can interact with to build intelligent and complex communications systems. As your app’s usage scales up or down, Twilio automatically scales with you. You only pay for what you use – no contracts, no shenanigans.

Remember that one time you called a business and after entering your account number the person who answers asks for your account number? We’ve generated zettabytes of data for ourselves, yet for 150 years the person on the other end of a call who says “Hello” somehow still knows nothing about you.

What if instead of asking for an account number, your customer was greeted by name by an agent that already knew what she was calling about. This customer experience is possible with software-driven communication applications, and WebRTC is the technology that will help you get there. WebRTC empowers you to make contextual and intelligent communication something thats is integrated directly into your website and mobile app.

In this code-driven talk, I’ll introduce you to WebRTC and how you can use it to build real-time, peer-to-peer voice, video and messaging communication directly in a web browser. We’ll explore the JavaScript API’s and network communication concepts needed to make these applications work. If, like me, you’re tired of lame telephone experiences and want to change the world of communication then you must come to this talk.
