Your Communications System — Taking a Holistic View
Those of you that know me well, know that I am a strange mix of computers, protocols, and ukuleles. I can get as passionate about a 2-5-1 chord progression as I can about software DSPs. In my latest article for No Jitter, I attempt to put my love for music on the same page as […]
Writing Your First WebRTC Application: Part Three
Welcome to part three in my series of “Writing Your First WebRTC Application” articles. Part one described the basic components involved in a WebRTC solution and part two presented the differences between Chrome and Firefox. Today, I want to spend some time on the client code from the standpoint of the WebRTC flow and API […]
Is Voice Mail Dead?
Like a houseguest that’s outlasted his or her visit, it may be time to say goodbye to voice mail. It was fun while it lasted, but I for one won’t be shedding any tears when the plug is finally pulled. In my latest article for No Jitter, I pontificate on why it may be time […]
Writing Your First WebRTC Application: Part Two
Last week I posted the first article in my series on writing your first WebRTC application. In it, I explained the high level aspects of a WebRTC signaling server along with the client-side components. At the risk of repeating myself, here are the most important concepts. A WebRTC solution consists of two parts – the […]
Point. Click. Communicate. The Webification of Communications
My second article for No Jitter explores the evolution of the PBX from “refrigerator cabinets” filled with proprietary gateways, call processors, applications, and line cards to the modern day web server. I look at each functional component to help explain where we were and why we moved on. As always, I welcome your thoughts and […]
Writing Your First WebRTC Application: Part One
This is not the article that I intended to post today. The real article, which is still a work in progress, is a step-by-step approach to writing your first WebRTC application. It’s chock-full of JavaScript, WebRTC function calls, and HTML code. However, it’s proving to be much bigger and more complicated than I expected. It’s […]
Communications Enabled Business Processes
And now for something completely different. If I’ve learned one thing from my unified communications blog, it’s that I never run of things to write about. While that doesn’t mean that everything I come up with is of interest to everyone, I try to keep things fresh and balance my time between deep-in-the-weeds discussions about […]
Come Together: A Collection of Articles Designed to Make you a SIP Rock Star
I have been working on this blog for a little more than a year and in that time I’ve written articles about a wide range of topics related to unified communications. From the beginning, it has been my goal to create articles on subjects that are current, interesting, and relevant to those of us who […]
WebRTC Blueprints
Anyone who has been following my blog will know that WebRTC has become my latest passion. I’ve written four or five articles on the subject and have at least ten more inside of me waiting to come out. Actually, ten might be an understatement. The deeper I dig, the more I discover that I want […]
