This is an intermediate level course in which a full introduction to the
VoiceXML programming language is delivered including application structure,
VoiceXML syntax description and coding examples, and programming exercises to
quickly bring the student up to speed with this powerful language. Advanced
topics are covered such as incorporating Java Server Pages for producing dynamic
content, JavaBeans, and ECMAScript, allowing VoiceXML application developers to
leverage many of the pre-existing state-of-the-art programming techniques
currently employed by today's voice application developers.
The course is based on the VoiceXML v2.0 standard. Leading technology vendors’
solutions are covered and compared. VoiceXML is compared with other competitive
technologies.
