[Freeswitch-users] FS Best practices

Hey List, still kinda new to this whole deal, looking for some advice. We are building a website that needs to interact with FS. Not looking for specific instructions just opinions about the best practices for doing things like click to dial from a web page, calling CDR records to web applications to display customers stats and general web integration. Does this all need to be done using scripting languages like Lua or Perl, or can you directly integrate FS with a website in some other manner. Again, just getting into all this, but having a blast learning FS, config and power rock! Anyhow, some places or things I should start looking into would be greatly appreciated. Thanks List!
