[Freeswitch-users] Questions on Building an application for FreeSWITCH

[Bob Coleman]

We used c# as the rest of our systems are windows based. The language
doesnt matter too much, as long as you know where you are headed, what
performance you require, and what platform you are going to be using.

Found the ESL so much easier than the dialogic c library we were using.

The docs for the esl are easy to understand, the thing I couldnt get
my head around initially was the dialing out, with the dialogic you
are in the middle when you dial, ie already on the channel, but with
freeswitch you are kind of the third party when you dial, the channel
being created by the dialing and handing it off to be worked on. We
make the call via an inbound event socket and hand it off to an
outbound event socket application via the dialplan.
