Extend your application using real-time text-based chat, and collaborate easily by adding real-time drag-and-drop file sharing
Create your own fully working WebRTC application in minutes

Description

WebRTC delivers web-based real-time communication and is set to revolutionize our view of what the Web really is. Streaming audio and video from browser to browser, as well as opening raw access to the camera and microphone, is already creating a whole new dynamic web. WebRTC also introduces real-time data channels that will allow interaction with dynamic data feeds from sensors and other devices. This really is a great time to be a web developer! Getting Started with WebRTC provides all of the practical information you need to quickly understand what WebRTC is, how it works, and how you can add it to your own web applications. It includes clear working examples designed to help you get started building your own WebRTC-enabled applications right away. Getting Started with WebRTC will guide you through the process of creating your own WebRTC application that can be applied in a number of different real-world situations, using well documented and clearly explained code examples. You will learn how to quickly and easily create a practical peer-to-peer video chat application, an audio only call option, and how a Web-Socket-based signaling server can also be used to enable real-time text-based chat. You will also be shown how this same server and application structure can easily be extended to include simple drag-and-drop file sharing with transfer updates and thumbnail previews.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for developers new to the WebRTC standards who are interested in adding sensor-driven, real-time, peer-to-peer communication to their web applications. You will only need basic experience with HTML and JavaScript.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

This book makes a first introduction to WebRTC in a very general way, easy to understand for everyone.After this part, more technical details have been compiled so it also gives you a general overview of how a communication using WebRTC technology works and how to build your own service. The level of details in this part of the book I think is quite good for beginners.Finally, two scenarios are described in detail so the advantages of using WebRTC are shown. I really appreciate the sections highlighting the potential issues to be taken under account for each of the scenarios.As other user commented, I wish I could have had this book some months ago. Nevertheless, I would recommend it to anyone getting into WebRTC.

Great for programmers who want a hands-on introduction to WebRTC.

Kader Khan Dec 22, 2013

Hi,I am not a developer since more than 10 years now. However I was curious to understand the basics of WebRTC from developer perpective. There were lot of resources in internet however was not clear enough to get started and as well to understand the whole picture.I read the "Getting Started with WebRTC" book, and i can say this book is well structured for the starters and leads to a way to advanced programming left to the one skills and imagination. The best part is the example working code and the clear exlanation is exemplenary.I for sure recommend this book for all individuals who needs to understand and excel in thier WebRTC world of Career.Best Regards,Kader.

The book "Getting Started with WebRTC" by Rob Manson ( [...] )is an easy to understand introduction to building WebRTC applications. It is a good investment for anyone wanting to build the next generation of social networking services. The book can be view as having three sections: top-level, basic cookbook, and conciderations for advanced use cases.The first chapters cover the top-level information. Chapter 1 is a general introduction including a bit of the the why and who of WebRTC. Chapter 2 goes into the overall technical architecture. The information is organized and accurate, but it could benefit from a diagram or two to illustrate the text.Chapters 3 to 6 provide a cookbook approach. Starting with basic video and audio applications. There is an interesting twist where he adds a chatroulette feature to the application. Then the application is rounded out by adding in text chat and filesharing. Adding to the value of the bbok, the code for these chapters is available for download.The last two chapters focus on applying WebRTC in E-learning and Team Communication use-cases. Rob discusses consideration of the users and the network. Privacy, security and network adminstraion issues are rasied.Overall this is a very good book to get you started with WebRTC.

Getting Started with WebRTC: If you have basic HTML and JavaScript, you're well on the way to adding real time, peer-to-peer communication to your web applications using WebRTC. This book shows you how through a totally practical, structured course.
