Wow, what an awesome event that the Railsberry team put on last week in Krakow, Poland! It’s difficult to describe in words the attention to detail and coordination by the Applicake and Future Simple crews put into making this a truly memorable event.
Google recently released nearly $70M worth of opensource code to the world, in order to help improve real-time communications (RTC) over the Internet; they call it WebRTC.
“WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. Their mission is to enable rich, high quality, RTC applications to be developed in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5.”
Interestingly enough, we at Voxeo Labs have a complimentary mission for Phono: to provide a simple Javascript Communications API that empowers developers with the ability to build robust voice and messaging communications apps; these apps can run in any web browser and on any mobile device.
Today we are proud to preview our experimental WebRTC support for the PhonoSDK. Since WebRTC is so new, it only runs in Google’s Chrome Canary experimental browser. The video below demonstrates an encrypted Phono-to-Phono – voice and video – P2P WebRTC experience in a Canary browser and we hope you’re impressed with what you see.
Note: there are a couple of additional videos on the page that demonstrate what else we are doing with Phono and WebRTC!
I was privileged to have the opportunity of moderating the Tropo Customer Spotlight session at the Voxeo Customer Summit in Orlando, Florida last week. Six customers each gave a brief presentation on their business followed by a discussion on how they are using Tropo to deliver their Voice, SMS, and Instant Messaging services.
Tropo just recently partnered with PamFax to deliver faxing capabilities via an API. Jason Goecke wrapped their API with a very simple Ruby gem called pamfaxr available at GitHub and installable using a “gem install pamfaxr” from your command line. Using the PamFaxr Ruby gem, I will demonstrate how to send a simple fax as well as how to build a Tropo Voice to Fax transcription application using our Scripting API!
Diggz and SocialVirgil hit up SuperHappyDevHouse 42 this weekend in San Jose at the tech museum, joining over 300 hackers from all over the bay area. Virgil shot & edited this montage video with some highlights of the day’s fun:
Saturday and Sunday, a bunch of developers wrapped up Seattle Geek Week by participating in an hackathon to build apps with government APIs and data. Here’s what you missed…
Couldn’t make it to last week’s SF Telephony meetup? The videos from each talk have been posted online, including a ten minute overview of how we built Tropo.
Last month I gave a talk at the London Web Meetup about how web developers can get applications out of the browser and start communicating in real time with voice, SMS, and IM.
Jose De Castro, Chief Architect of Voxeo Labs and the lead on Tropo, gave a talk at Pivotal Labs in April. Pivotal is one of the premier web app development shops and invites people in to talk about interesting web technologies. Attendance to the the talks are open by invitation only, but Pivotal Labs records the talks on video and makes them available to the public.
At Google I/O last week, Phil Wolff from the Skype Journal interviewed me about Voxeo Labs and Tropo.
