Getting Started with Respoke: Part 1 – Signing Up and Creating Your First App

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series Getting Started with Respoke

This is Part 1 in a series on getting started using the Respoke platform. What is Respoke you ask? Respoke is an extremely easy-to-use platform that allows developers to add live voice, video, messaging, and data features to your websites and applications. Some examples of things you might do with this platform include (but are definitely not limited to):

Text Chat / Instant Messaging
Audio Calling
Video Collaboration
Peer-to-Peer Data (think direct file sharing from within your browser)

The examples I am going to cover in this series will use the Respoke Javascript Library which is open-source and available on GitHub at https://github.com/respoke/respoke. SDK’s for iOS and Android are also in the works and should be available early 2015.
