AT&T Free WebRTC Coding Workshops, May 18, Boston - with Boston New Technology, Girl Develop It, & HTML5 Boston

       See why over 3,000 developers across the country have attended AT&T DevLabs!

 

Have you heard about WebRTC? Do you want to try it out? Now’s your chance! Join the AT&T Developer Program for a free coding workshop on the AT&T Enhanced WebRTC API. 

These are not marketing pitches, but rather 3-hour, hands-on coding workshops taught by AT&T's lead architect for WebRTC. He will walk you through various coding examples then AT&T experts will provide help as you go through the lab exercises yourself. 

Analysts agree that WebRTC is one of the most disruptive telecommunications technologies to hit the street in years. The reason: WebRTC is not just about calling and conferencing apps, though it does those well. The real power is that it allows voice and video communications to easily be added to any web app. Just think of how that could increase the customer engagement of your applications.

An extra perk? Attendees will be entered in a drawing for an Acer Chromebook!

The workshops will focus on a carrier-agnostic version of the AT&T WebRTC API and will work with any web app running in Chrome. So come to the workshop to learn this exciting technology, network with AT&T experts and your fellow developers, and have some fun!

The events are free and we will be serving lunch or dinner.  Space is limited so register now.

Note that both workshops have identical content.

"I walked out of there feeling like an API rockstar."
