This document provides an introduction and overview for building a real-time web application using XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). It discusses real-time web applications and why XMPP is well-suited for them. It also describes the basic components of XMPP communication, including JIDs (Jabber IDs), stanzas, streams, messaging, presence, and info/query requests. The tutorial then introduces an example application called Pingstream that will be built to demonstrate receiving RSS feed updates in real-time over XMPP.
