Build your own Skype... in the browser
A background to WebRTC
- Track: Real Time Communications devroom
- Room: H.1309 (Van Rijn)
- Day: Sunday
- Start: 09:00
- End: 09:20
In this session, Steven Goodwin will practically demonstrate the various "moving parts" necessary to build a WebRTC application, by creating one live on stage. It will provide a better understand of how WebRTC applications work under the hood, what the API provides, and serve as a guide as to what is (and what is not) possible for developers to deliver using WebRTC, and what other technologies are needed for a full-blown solution.
The talk covers:
- History and scope of WebRTC
- The connection flow
- API functionality (e.g. stats)
- Creating signalling
- Server-side work
- The browser problem
It also details the business logic cases of how to take a basic WebRTC app and then to build a purely online VoIP product, such as a call centre, thereby demonstrating the extra work required to work with WebRTC, beyond the promotional blurb.
