Bigbluebutton has a number of open source subsystems.

The back end server side utilizes java.

The front USER side is either flash or html5

You should first build 1.0 in a server, and setup the development environment following http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/1.0/10setup.html

There are also a number of skillsets needs to fully understand the entire solution.

Once you get through those initial steps you can post questions more technical in nature.

Good luck on your project.

regards,
Stephen

Hi Najoua,

We would recommend against embedding the code into your web application; rather, the better approach would be to use the BigBlueButton API, described at


to create sessions, join users, end sessions, and get recordings from the BigBlueButton server (which is a separate server from your web application).

That's the best way to use BigBlueButton.  By keeping the software on a separate server, you can update both your web application and BigBlueButton server in parallel.  See also

Thank you so much for your quick and useful answers.

I understand that i need to have two servers one dedicated to bigbluebutton and the other one dedicated to my app ( I'll deploy my app on that server) 
And then when I want to have a "link" with bigbluebutton I'll be using the API 
 
Am I right ?

That's right.  Either yourself or someone on your team needs to be comfortable with programming. There is some programming required to use the API, but the pieces are all documented for you to build upon.

Hello Mr.Fred

Okay great then. But, what are the programming langages that can be used for the API ?

Hi Najoua,


You can use any programming language that can make HTTP requests the meet the BigBlueButton API.

See


We provide a suite of API examples (written in Java Server Pages) as an example of how to use the API, see

Thank you very much sir.

In fact I was worried about the use of BigBlueButton and if it'll work or not, But thanks to your answers I can start working on my app.
