I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

One way to do this is with the A option to the Dial() application.  For
example, your extension might look like this:

exten => 123,1,Dial(SIP/some_phone,30,A(hello-world))

This would play the "Hello World" prompt to the called party before
bridging the two calls together.
