This book builds from the simplest form of an Asterisk application, the dial plan-based application, gradually building a full understanding of AGI scripting. The book also introduces a new concept of AGI development named "Atomic AGI" or "Particle Programming". It will introduce you to various techniques of interacting with the user, where user interaction isn't limited to keypad-based input, but also includes recording messages from the user, sending output to the user and controlling the call flow. The book takes a pragmatic approach with clear and complete examples and a service development project - allowing you to understand the project cycle of developing an Asterisk-based service or application. What you will learn from this book Create AGI applications with Asterisk easily using PHPAGI, a PHP class library Avoid going through the normal pitfalls of novice developers when developing Asterisk-based applications and services for the first time Develop AGI scripts and FastAGI servers using Asterisk-PERL modules Configure your AMI login information in the phpagi.conf file in order to utilize the AMI interface with PHPAGI Understand the Asterisk Manager Interface and its utilization in Asterisk applications Develop full web-based call-back platforms and highly interactive IVR applications using PHP and PHPAGI Who this book is written for This book is intended for developers wishing to utilize Asterisk, system administrators wishing to gain better control over their Asterisk installation and telephony service providers wishing to deploy Asterisk-based solutions to their infrastructure.
