Brian will discuss his use of Asterisk on his projects and those projects in his classroom at Saint Joseph’s College. He retired in 2016, as Chair of the Computer Science Department at Saint Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana, after 34 years of teaching there. Saint Joseph’s became one of the first colleges with a full-time Internet connection in 1988 and began offering a for-credit course in VoIP in 2002. He has been a longtime advocate for Open Source software, participated in the process of developing the MIME standard, and was a co-author of RFC 5456, which formalizes the IAX protocol. His current interests focus on the future of the browser as a universal application container, and the technologies used to implement progressive web applications. He has developed a great fondness for modern JavaScript, Node, and React.
