XMPP/Jabber with Ruby
Technical editing by Joshua Sierles, sysadmin at 37signals.
Content by Geoffrey Grosenbach in collaboration with Casimir Saternos.
Part of our job at PeepCode is to research and create tutorials on new and upcoming technologies that alpha geeks are talking about. XMPP/Jabber instant messaging has been getting more buzz recently. What is it? What does it do? How can you use it to enhance your applications?
XMPP is an open, real-time instant messaging platform that is useful for sending and receiving notifications between servers and humans. You can use it to receive administrative notifications from your website or to push notifications to subscribers much more efficiently than current poll-based solutions such as RSS.
After viewing our 48 minute XMPP tutorial, you’ll be able to work with XMPP from Ruby, including:
- Connect to a Jabber server
- Send presence notifications and update the user icon
- Receive message notifications and friend requests
- Use DRb (distributed Ruby) together with Jabber to send messages from a Rails application

“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media

“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
