Voxeo Developers Corner

Remember when we were talking about iNum “global phone numbers” back in late 2008? Remember the video interview I did with Voxbone CEO Rod Ullens about iNum? Have you wondered what the “iNum” number is that is assigned to every Evolution and Tropo application? Have you read the iNum page on Evolution and wondered how you could best use an iNum?

On this coming Friday, January 21th, at 12 noon US Eastern time, the VoIP Users Conference crew will gather on their weekly conference call to get an updated from Voxbone on the status of the iNum initiative. From the VUC page:

Hugh Goldstein, Director of iNum Business Development will share current information and plans for 2011 and how VoIP users can leverage and support the iNum initiative in their own businesses and as individuals. Note that iNum supports voice, SMS and advanced multi-media services

More info about the call is at:

There is also an active IRC backchannel during the call (#vuc on freenode).

If you’re interested in iNum and our evolving global IP infrastructure it should be a fun and informative call. If you can’t attend, the call will be recorded for later listening and will be found on the episode web page.

Are you a .NET developer in Sarasota, FL? If so, on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, Kevin Junghans from our partner Chrysalis Software will be speaking in Sarasota, Florida, from 6-8pm at the Sarasota .Net Developers Group on the topic of “Developing .Net Communications Applications for the Cloud”. The abstract is:

This session will explore how you can create communications applications in the Cloud using .Net and free development services from Voxeo. The types of communications applications we will focus on are speech applications available through the telephone (TDM and VoIP) and SMS text messaging. Historically you needed expensive proprietary development environments and equipment provided by the big telephone equipment manufacturers to develop these types of applications, however with the advent of new standards from the W3C in programming languages for speech applications and companies like Voxeo you can now develop and test these types of applications at no cost.

This session will cover the fundamentals of speech application development and look at how you can leverage ASP.Net and Visual Studio to develop web-based voice applications that are accessible from the telephone. This session will also explore the RESTful web services provided by Voxeo to develop SMS text applications and how to use .Net to develop applications that send text messages to cell phones and provide automatic responses to text messages using autobot technology.

Should be a fun session and it’s great to see this kind of session within the .NET community. More info and directions can be found on the Sarasota .Net Developers Group website.
