Preface

The Twilio platform makes it simple to integrate telephony—both calls as well as SMS and MMS messages—into your code without expensive hardware requiring a manual setup. However, getting started on such a powerful platform can be daunting.

This book will teach you how to build powerful real-time applications on the Twilio platform from start to finish, making use of phone calls and SMS messages. You'll be introduced to TwiML, the REST API, and Twilio Client before you start building two real-life applications and diving deeper into issues such as testing and security.
