This practical book provides everything you need to know about the
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). This open technology
for real-time communication is used in many diverse applications such as
instant messaging, Voice over IP, real-time collaboration, social
networking, microblogging, lightweight middleware, cloud computing, and
more.
XMPP: The Definitive Guide walks you through the thought processes and
design decisions involved in building a complete XMPP-enabled
application, and adding real-time interfaces to existing applications.
You'll not only learn simple yet powerful XMPP tools, but you'll also
discover, through real-world developer stories, how common XMPP
"building blocks" can help solve particular classes of problems.
With this book, you will:
- Learn the basics of XMPP technologies, including architectural issues,
addressing, and communication primitives
- Understand the terminology of XMPP and learn about the wealth of XMPP
servers, clients, and code libraries
- Become familiar with the XMPP concepts and services you need to solve
common problems
- Construct a complete business application or real-time service with
XMPP
Every day, more software developers and service providers are using XMPP
for real-time applications, and with the help of XMPP: The Definitive
Guide, you can, too.
