Learning WebRTC

by Dan Ristic

Develop interactive real-time communication applications with WebRTC If you are a web developer who wants to create well designed WebRTC applications for your users, this is the book for you. Even if you are early in your web development career, this book aims to provide a complete understanding of the WebRTC API. It is assumed that you have previous exposure to web development using HTML5 and JavaScript technologies. The book begins by teaching you how to capture audio and video streams from the browser using the Media Capture and Streams API. You will then create your first WebRTC application capable of audio and video calling. The book will also give you in-depth knowledge about signaling and building a signaling server in Node.js. While being introduced to the RTCDataChannel object, you will learn how it relates to WebRTC and how to add text-based chat to your application. You will also learn to take your application further by supporting multiple users through different technologies and scale its performance and security. This book will also cover several theories using full mesh networks, partial mesh networks, and multipoint control units. By the end of this book, you will have an extensive understanding of real-time communication and the WebRTC protocol and APIs.

More like 3.5 stars, but gave 4 :) Was able to read i one day and got a good intro in to the WebRTC. Some topics are very detailed and some are just an overview. But that was what I was looking for, now I am ready to dig deeper. Writing style is very simple and easy to follow.
