WebRTC by Daniel C Burnett

WebRTC by Daniel C Burnett

WebRTC, Web Real-Time Communications, is revolutionizing the way web users communicate, both in the consumer and enterprise worlds. WebRTC adds standard APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and built-in real-time audio and video capabilities and codecs to browsers without a plug-in. With just a few lines of JavaScript, web developers can add high quality peer-to-peer voice, video, and data channel communications to their collaboration, conferencing, telephony, or even gaming site or application.

New for the Third Edition

The third edition has an enhanced demo application which now shows the use of the data channel for real-time text sent directly between browsers. Also, a full description of the browser media negotiation process including actual SDP session descriptions from Firefox and Chrome. Hints on how to use Wireshark to monitor WebRTC protocols, and example captures are also included. TURN server support for NAT and firewall traversal is also new.

This edition also features a step-by-step introduction to WebRTC, with concepts such as local media, signaling, and the Peer Connection introduced through separate runnable demos.

Written by experts involved in the standardization effort, this book contains the most up to date discussion of WebRTC standards in W3C and IETF. Packed with figures, example code, and summary tables, this book is the ultimate WebRTC reference.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Alan B. is an Australian native. Johnston grew up in a technologically advanced environment in the United States. He had always wanted to be an engineer and had experimented with amateur radio, coding, and creative writing since he was a child, as well as traveling across the world with his family. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and has worked in industry as well as teaching at several institutions. He has co-authored the ZRTP voice security protocol standard, as well as five best-selling technical publications and over thirty patents and international standards in real-time communications over Internet Protocol and security.

He loves working with robotics teams and tinkering with Arduinos and Raspberry Pis. He continues to travel the world, ride motorcycles, and sail from his home in Seattle. Returning to Zero is his second novel, and it continues the story of Mick O'Malley and the botnet begun in Counting from Zero.
