Beginning Modern JavaScript Development with Microservices, WebRTC, and React

Overview of this book

JavaScript has now become a universal development language. Whilst offering great benefits, the complexity of the entire ecosystem can be overwhelming. In this course, we will take a look at the libraries in JavaScript that aid in building applications that have a microservices-based architecture, have features like audio and video calling, real-time score updates, multi-faceted search options and more. We will not only look at building these applications but also explore a number of industry-standard best practices. With coverage of both server-side and front-end development, this course will provide attendees with the skills required to develop cutting-edge web applications that stand the test of time. The code bundle for this course is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Beginning-Modern-JavaScript-Development-with-Microservices-WebRTC-and-React

WebRTC
This video explains how Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a browser technology that enables the retrieval of the media streams of physical media sources and the exchange of media streams, or any other data, in real time. To understand WebRTC thoroughly, we must be familiar with the meaning of terms that we are going to be using frequently. These terms are: - Streams - The Peer-to-Peer network model - Real-Time data - The MediaStream API - RTCPeerConnection API - Peer-to-Peer connection - RTCDataChannel API
