Hey HN! This is a book I am working on to help de-mystify WebRTC. It is wonderful technology, but many find it hard to understand. Especially if you don't have a telephony background. Before this I worked on https://github.com/pion/webrtc and https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webr...

This is a place to direct people instead of answering the same questions :)

------

Come learn about the WebRTC specification and how all the protocols work in depth, not just a tour of the APIs. The book is completely Open Source and available at https://github.com/webrtc-for-the-curious/webrtc-for-the-cur...

Learn the full details of ICE, SCTP, DTLS, SRTP, and how they work together to make up the WebRTC stack.

Hear how WebRTC implementers debug issues with the tools of the trade.

Listen to interviews with the authors of foundational WebRTC tech! Hear the motivations and design details that pre-dated WebRTC by 20 years.

Explore the cutting edge of what people are building with WebRTC. Learn about interesting use cases and how real-world applications get designed, tested and implemented in production.

Written by developers who have written all of this from scratch. We learned it the hard way, now we want to share it with you!

This book is vendor agnostic and multiple Open Source projects and companies are involved. We would love to have you involved!
