WebRTC: APIs and RTCWEB Protocols of the HTML5 Real-Time Web

Writing about standards will never be awesome. This book could do a better job describing the overall architecture. Or breaking the standard up into use cases. For me, the Jabber, Jingle, voip stuff is unnecessary. But this seems to be written from the viewpoint of a standards committee and they are getting the added features.If you're looking for a "20 min webrtc recipes for my website" this isn't it, and I don't think it exists yet.

Video chat with text and various application data from browser to browser is emerging as a new feature for mobile and fixed devices, actually on most anything equipped with a browser, even though at present not all but some leading browsers are supporting such interoperability. Innovators discover how their apps and back-ends can be improved and updated using WebRTC for such as privacy and security, features, and performance.Though I am quite familiar with both the topic and the 1st edition of this book, I was quickly humbled by just how much WebRTC technology has progressed. The 2014, 3rd edition of the book has not only kept up but has also been completely restructured to make the underlying wealth of technical knowledge digestible as befits both university educators and known industry experts - the authors of this book. The usefulness for a broad audience of web and communication developers, IT managers and various business decision makers has been well preserved and actually improved. Following the text and the extremely clear diagrams makes reading the respective chapters attractive, all the way to understand the pseudo code and full code examples. A sample browser based video conferencing application developed by the authors is also included.The book is an excellent tutorial on WebRTC as it is being developed by the W3C and IETF standards organizations; still one would have wished as well to be enlightened with some examples or comments on specifically how this technology impacts the perennial enterprise and institutional IT markets and the public telephony providers. How will WebRTC impact over the top (OTT) Internet platforms and social networks that already provide rich, state of the art video chats, multiparty conferencing, collaboration and may include streaming media along various data apps. However, given the complexities of closed, real life commercial platforms, it is understandable why this book just sticks to the basics and makes readers better understand the news from the technology industry.I got really carried away by reading this new edition and keep the Kindle e-book on three devices to have it anywhere along.

Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) is the key open standards-based communications technology for the future - now being used by over 800 companies to embed voice and video into websites and applications. WebRTC is built-in to Chrome, Firefox, Opera and soon Microsoft Edge browsers and is packaged into mobile SDKs by a number of vendors. Google and others introduced WebRTC in 2011 and Alan's and Dan's WebRTC book was the first book published on it and now in its 3rd edition remains the most comprehensive introduction and reference for developers and technology teams. I have personally purchased all three editions (I wish Amazon discounted buying updates :)) and read them all. This is a great book - the step-by-step approach, demo programs and detailed discussions provide a strong technical foundation for anyone wondering how WebRTC works and how to quickly incorporate real-time voice, video and data sharing into their applications. Plus Alan and Dan are intimately involved in IETF and W3C and cover the standards process well.So I am really pleased to now see this Chinese edition, making WebRTC technology much more accessible to web developers and technologists in China, as well as making it easier for Mandarin speakers in the U.S., Europe or anywhere in the world to read up on WebRTC. I am not a Chinese speaker so I cannot comment on the translation - but knowing the authors I expect this to be good. So I look forward to seeing reviews by Chinese speakers - my 5 stars are to acknowledge the importance of the first Chinese translation of this seminal WebRTC book.

Concept is clear !

Worst novel ever (albeit very informative and educational).

This is the best technical WebRTC book available. It is absolutely mandatory for any web or telecom developer looking to understand how to develop and deploy WebRTC. In this Third Edition, Dan and Alan continue to expand the overall content and keep up with the emerging standards. WebRTC is an exciting technology that will change communication int he same way the original web changed information and will create huge opportunities, both in technology, start-ups and business (think Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.). For any developer or company with a web presence, WebRTC is a big part of your future and this book is the clear way to understand how to develop. The book includes clear code examples and easy to implement initial code. With this book, your website will be managing real time HD voice, HD video,and data interactions between your users or subscribers in a matter of days, or even hours. Highly Recommended!!

Alan and Dan provide comprehensive WebRTC information in an easy to understand format while bringing WebRTC to life! This WebRTC technical reference not only includes example source code, it has a companion website where anyone with a browser can experiment with a fully functional WebRTC system and see the various message flows involved with WebRTC media and data flows. Each new addition of this book brings updates on the progress of the WebRTC related standards and the rapid evolution of this emerging disruptive technology. This economical reference is all most web developers need to WebRTC enable their applications with voice, video, or interactive real-time data flows.

Best WebRTC book i can find

分かりやすくまとめてあります。入門書的な本です。日本語だともう少し理解が進んだと思いますが和訳の時の問題もありますから、原文の良さもあります。

as a newbie to most of these novel technologies (Javascript, html5, webRTC) this book has helped to figure out how things might work. the sample code can be downloaded and low and behold one can make it run with reasonable node.js & friends skills.The description of the various code snippets (including the html which is also some sort of code these days...) help to navigate through the async doings of the Javascript world, though a decent javascript work-bench is required.As an aside: Funny, that way back when, typed languages were considered good and asynchronous programming (in a multi-threaded set-up) beyond the average programmer. not clear that single-threadedness really helps with spaghetti code of async nature: a handler here, a handler there... keeps the GUI alive and the programmer alert.

This is merely a summary of what you can find for free on the internet.Also the pictures and tables are unreadable on high-dpi screens.

Documento ya antiguo que no sirve.La maquetacion interna es terrible.En su momento podria estar bien pero ahora ya no vale
