Complete Course of WebRTC
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source technology that enables peer-to-peer communication directly between web browsers and mobile applications without requiring external plugins. It supports real-time data sharing, video conferencing, voice calls, and file transfers by utilizing APIs for audio, video, and data streams. Learning WebRTC is important for aspiring software developers because it is widely used in building modern, real-time communication applications like video conferencing platforms, online collaboration tools, and live streaming services, which are in high demand across industries.
A tutor can accelerate this process by providing clear explanations of WebRTC's core concepts, such as signaling, ICE candidates, and media streams, along with hands-on projects that teach learners how to implement real-time communication features in their applications, preparing them for roles in software development and real-time application design.
