Summary

** The Twilio team has launched their new documentation experience, called Tutorials, which provides annotated walkthroughs of example Twilio applications. The tutorials aim to present a sample Twilio application in a familiar setting with the context of the user's favorite web framework. Unlike traditional code tutorials, Tutorials reverse the relationship between text and code, making code the centerpiece of the experience. The tutorials cover 19 different use cases using Twilio Voice, SMS, Client, and IP Messaging, and are written in popular web frameworks such as Django, Rails, Laravel, Express, ASP.NET MVC, Java with servlets and Spring MVC. Each tutorial is a full application that can be used as a jumping off point, and the source code is bundled with a permissive open-source license. The tutorials were developed over a year and a half by 21 different developers, and are intended to help users achieve production readiness with Twilio.
