Preview
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 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 this 48 minute screencast, 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

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
“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
“All the PeepCode screencasts are nothing short of awesome. Reading is one thing, but learning from [your screencasts] is enabling me to learn new things and advance like never before.” Todd Boteler
“I wanted to catch up with functional programming, watched PeepCode's screencast on Clojure, best one so far (and I have seen them all)” wearecloud
