Enable an App with Voice and SMS – 9:00 AM – Noon

Instructor


Alex Haynes; Software Engineer, and Jake Schmitz; Director of Application Development, Vail Systems

Description

Ready to add phone call and texting capabilities to your applications?

Don’t have an application yet, but certainly want to learn how to do something like this?

In this session, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up an application that will:

1 – answer a phone call, 2 – gather input from the caller, and 3 – respond with a text.

If you happen to have your own project ready for such a thing, bring it along. If you’re exploring or learning, we have code for you to use.

What you’ll need to bring: a laptop and a basic comfort level with setting up a local server.

What you’ll leave with: an API key and phone number to continue to build upon the basic application from class or to try your own.

WebRTC/ORTC – 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
