Send Text Messages and Make Phone Calls with Node

The Node Knockout is nigh! As you make last minute preparations for your weekend masterpiece, you may be planning Android, iOS, and browser-based UI for your application. But there's another client platform that's even more ubiquitous - that's the telephone, particularly mobile phones. If you'd like to create experiences for all these devices, Twilio can help you get it done.

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use the Twilio module for node.js to make and receive phone calls and text messages. This is slightly adapted from a series of introductory blog posts on the Twilio module, which are worth checking out as well if you're interested!

Getting Started

In order to use the Twilio API, you will first need to sign up for a free account. If you sign up with th

Libraries

• jQuery - The de-facto library for the modern age. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
• Backbone - Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
• AngularJS - Conventions based MVC framework for HTML5 apps.
• Underscore - Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects.
• lawnchair - Key/value store adapter for indexdb, localStorage

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

# Given the word list, count how many words are in the dictionary.
# Note: This isn't the most efficient way to do thise.  If I was going for
#   speed, I would have made each dicitonary word the key of a hash, and
#   had O(n) lookup times.
def process_words(words, dictionary)
  puts "Starting thread #{Thread.current.object_id}\n"

  found = 0
  words.each do |word|
    if dictionary.include? word
