The team at Twilio has done an amazing job making telephony accessible to developers. Making and accepting calls, as well as sending and receiving texts is now as easy as a couple of lines of code. The simplicity of Twilio’s API is such that most developers are literally up and running within minutes. At the same time because of the ingenious REST API which makes calls and messages addressable, there is no limit to the complexity of the applications that can be created using Twilio.
Now Twilio is starting a whole new chapter: extending the power and simplicity of the Twilio platform to web and mobile clients. You can now build audio communications right into you web site or iPhone or Android application. As on the server this is simply a matter of a couple of lines of Javascript (or ObjectiveC or Java). And because the audio pipe connects to Twilio’s servers exactly the same code that deals with phone calls and text messages can be used to handle Twilio client communications. So the full power of Twilio’s platform is available. Twilio client and traditional communications can be used interchangeably and fully integrated with each other.
In typical Twilio fashion you can try Twilio client right from the product home page. So head on over there and try it out!
