Node - Create Conference How-To Guide

This project serves as a guide to help you build an application with FreeClimb. View this how-to guide on FreeClimb.com. Specifically, the project will:

• Accept incoming calls
• Receive digits from the caller
• Create conferences
• Add participants to conferences

This application will receive calls and have users enter the conference code of the conference they wish to join. It will then either create the conference or add the caller to an already existant conference.
