Learning opensips is not like learning a programming language like C, ruby, puthon, etc. It is very important to get an understanding of how sip flows and opensips works (get the big picture) then get into the details of how to manipulate things.<div>
Checkout the past webinars on the <a href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/Webinars">Webinars page</a></div><div>First two I'd look at are:</div><div><a href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/Webinars#toc9">SIP introduction</a></div>
<div><a href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/Webinars#toc8">OpenSIPS default script</a></div><div>You may want to get and start playing with the <a href="http://www.voice-system.ro/shortcuts::opensips_livedvd">live DVD</a> available that you can use in a virtual server or a spare computer without installing.</div>
<div>Further, look at the <a href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/DocsTutorials">tutorials</a> for specific goals.<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></div><div><a class="urllink" href="http://www.voice-sistem.ro/downloads/2007.08.29-Admin-Course/" rel="nofollow">OpenSIPS Admin Course</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The "<a href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/DocsCookbooks">Cookbooks</a>" page is basically the links to reference manual type documentation of functions, features, variables etc. But it helps to have an understanding of how opensips works from the suggested webinars.</div>
<div>Opensips IRC on freenode is quite active as well as the mailing list. Be sure to ask questions there. But remember that like other opensource software you are not paying for support so don't have an attitude of expecting fast answers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also consider <a href="http://www.opensips.org/Training/EBootcamp">http://www.opensips.org/Training/EBootcamp</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>I sure wish these resources were available when I first started with openser (opensips) a few years ago. I have recently gone through some of these and still found them helpful.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For performance check the <a class="selflink" href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/PerformanceTests">Performance tests</a> page and search the <a class="selflink" href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/MailingLists">Mailing lists</a> and <a class="wikilink" href="http://www.opensips.org/Resources/Forums">Forums</a> for results users have found.</div>
