Preface
Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new standard that lets browsers communicate in real time using a peer-to-peer architecture. It is about secure, consent-based, audio/video (and data) peer-to-peer communication between HTML5 browsers. This is a disruptive evolution in the web applications world, since it enables, for the very first time, web developers to build real-time multimedia applications with no need for proprietary plug-ins.
WebRTC puts together two historically separated camps, associated, respectively, with telecommunications on one side and web development on the other. Those who do not come from the telecommunications world might be discouraged by the overwhelming quantity of information to be aware of in order to understand all of the nits and bits associated with real-time transmission over the Internet. On the other hand, for those who are not aware of the latest developments in the field of web programming (both client and server side), it might feel uncomfortable to move a legacy VoIP application to the browser.
The aim of this book is to facilitate both communities, by providing developers with a learn-by-example description of the WebRTC APIs sitting on top of the most advanced real-time communication protocols. It targets a heterogeneous readership, made not only of web programmers, but also of real-time applications architects who have some knowledge of the inner workings of the Internet protocols and communication paradigms. Different readers ...
