Receiving Email with Ruby PDF
Preview
Previously called MMS2R
Web applications become much more useful when powered by the oldest communication technology on the Internet: email.
This 60 page PDF shows how to use the MMS2R RubyGem to receive and parse email from both desktop clients and mobile devices. You’ll learn about:
- Using MMS and email as an API to your web application.
- Understanding cellular and mobile gateways for sending and receiving MMS messages.
- Setting up scripts to fetch and process email.
- Automatically removing advertising inserted by carriers.
- Testing mail reception with Test::Unit and RSpec.
- Strategies for matching email addresses to user accounts.
As mobile devices become more common, applications need to be able to not only send messages, but receive communication from phones and other handheld devices. This book will give you the knowledge to build applications that accept input from email and MMS messages. You may even be inspired to start a new application, just to take advantage of how easy it is!
Written by Mike Mondragon and Luke Francl, authors of the MMS2R RubyGem and consultants on FanChatter and other mobile sites.
Available as part of the PeepCode Unlimited package or as a single purchase for only US$9!

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media
“I suspect there are a lot of smart DF readers out there who know nothing about the Unix-y aspects of Mac OS X, would like to, but never found a good way to get started. This screencast is it.” John Gruber, Daring Fireball
“Mercurial is just what I was looking for. Happy to pay to support people making such high-quality and informative screencasts.” Jason Kottke
“Absolutely fantastic - I haven't seen a PeepCode screencast before and I'm super impressed with the level of graphics/audio...I just finished it and it really is a great intro. Well done.” David Kaneda, author of jQTouch
“These things are fantastic and the price is a steal. I strongly urge you to support this effort and buy the episodes. What a terrific way to learn!” Scott Barron, Rails Core Committer
