VoIP Doesn't Suck Anymore -- Meet Adhearsion

This talk covers the best practices of developing a sophisticated VoIP application using the new open source Adhearsion framework. If you’ve dabbled in telecom development, either with Asterisk or a proprietary solution, you’ve undoubtedly experienced the tormenting conditions. Adhearsion is a radical departure from the traditional telecom development paradigm that treats the “voice application” as a first-class concept.

Adhearsion developers write Ruby code using the intuitive APIs that Adhearsion exposes and leave the complex telephony domain to Adhearsion. If you’re new to VoIP development, add a new technology to your bag of tricks and give it a shot! The barrier to entry has never been lower.

This technical talk will be given by Jay Phillips, author of Adhearsion and an avid Ruby, web, and telephony developer. Phillips has spoken at over a dozen conferences and meetups about his Adhearsion software and has written for publications such as Asterisk: The Future of Telephony and Linux Journal magazine.
