  Greg from Twilio here. Pretty excited about these. Most of the tutorials are available in Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Node. A few of my favorites:

  Masked Phone Numbers (AirBnB style): https://www.twilio.com/docs/tutorials/walkthrough/masked-num...

  Click-to-Call: https://www.twilio.com/docs/tutorials/walkthrough/click-to-c...

  I serve on the Developer Education team at Twilio and Tutorials is a new documentation format we're releasing today. We heard from lots of Twilio developers, and non Twilio developers that the way they best learned was just having a colleague run through some code with them... a sort of annotated walkthrough of why and how they built something. What we're launching today is straight from the brains of hundreds of web developers who told us what they wanted. We hope it helps pave the path to production, and we 'd love to hear what you think of it.
