Do you find yourself constantly asking others for questions on how to fix your FreeSWITCH bugs? Are you posting questions on Twitter, Google Groups and forums, frustrated as you waste hours as you wait for others to answer your questions?

What if you had the opportunity to ask ALL your FreeSWITCH questions at once and then get them answered right away by some of the best experts in the nation? Join us for the FreeSWITCH Training Bootcamp! 

The Bootcamp is a full 3-day intensive training providing in-depth coverage of FreeSWITCH installation, configuration, maintenance and programming. You will learn how to configure, manage and program the FreeSWITCH telephony soft switch step-by-step. Our brightest engineers will also give their tips and tricks in debugging and optimizing FreeSWITCH. 

Scheduled training courses will take place around the world. The next one is:

Austin, TX

These courses are official FreeSWITCH training courses. This course will be headed by Darren Schreiber, one of the co-authors of the new FreeSWITCH 1.0.6 book. 

Who should attend:

• VoIP providers seeking “Open Source” platforms to enhance their businesses
• Anyone seeking proficiency in FreeSWITCH
• Network Consultants and VARs who need a jump start in the technology
• Developers who want to use FreeSWITCH to create new telephony applications and appliances

Topics that will be covered in this course:

• Install FreeSWITCH on a Linux Machine
• Understanding configuration files and the default configuration
• Call authentication and routing basics
• Integration modules (mod_skypiax, mod_dingaling for Skype/GTalk/XMPP integration)
• Understanding presence
• Load balancing and high availability
• FreeSWITCH Internals
• How to debug and troubleshoot FreeSWITCH
• Building Custom C Modules
• Advanced Modules

This training course will be a mixture of lectures and hands-on lab exercises. By the end of the training, students will have completed a number of labs that allow for the successful installation and configuration of a working soft switch that will process calls from within the classroom and from outside numbers and make various routing decisions. If time allows and interest is present, students will also compile a basic custom C module that introduces new dialplan and API commands into the FreeSWITCH system.
