RJ Auburn - One Step Beyond

Ok, this has just gotten crazy. Today while shopping at my local Longs Drug Store while I was checking out I noticed that they have put up a display of Christmas ornaments! WTF? It’s August, the middle of summer. Why are they selling this stuff this time of year?

This year I will be doing two tutorials at SpeechTek in New York City.

Tutorial 1: Developing Call Control Applications with CCXML

In this session attendees will learn the basics of developing CCXML applications including an overview of the language and information on available tools/platforms. Attendees will review the source code from a CCXML application and learn how CCXML fits into their speech applications.

Tutorial 2: Creating and Deploying Next Generation Speech Applications

With the rapid migration of the traditional telephony network to one that is based on IP and Web technology, the next generation of speech applications will be created for, and deployed on, platforms that converge the traditional and IP based telecommunications infrastructures. This tutorial will provide the attendee with an introduction to the technologies involved in this paradigm shift, as well as the techniques to migrate existing applications to new the new model. Topics covered will include the traditional phone network, IP based phone systems, Web services as they relate to speech applications, the role of markup languages in application development and migration strategies based on real-world examples.

For the second tutorial I will jointly be giving it with Ken Rehor, Gene Eagle and Bill Scholz. My section will cover details on the infrastructure that goes into making Next Generation applications work.

Today I was browsing the freshmeat.net archives and came across this handy little PHP library for creating speech applications. Open VXML tools has a number of PHP classes that take care of creating the markup from the PHP application. It supports VoiceXML, SSML, SRGS and CCXML.

As I promised during todays session on CCXML and SIP at the TMC VoIP Developers conference here are the slides from todays session. Enjoy!

This just in, the Asterisk PBX now has MacOSX Support! I will have to give this a try when I get back from the VoIP developers conference.

I will be speaking at the TMC VoIP Developer Conference tomorrow at 1:30PM. I will be doing a session on SIP and CCXML. If you are attending be sure to drop by!
