In this 3rd part we’re going to be concrete but a little bit less technical. Here are 2 big mistakes you have to avoid when trying to setup an IM based application (Sorry for those who wanted more technical info about xmpp4r… maybe in the next one). The #1 mistake : Trying to run XMPP4r […]
In the first part, we talked less about XMPP4r and more about XMPP, this time it will be the other way around. Now that we know that XMPP messages are XML bits of information exchanged between a client and a server via a TCP connection, we are more able to understand the purpose of XMPP4r. […]
It’s been a while since the last edition of Rubyize this. I have waited all this time because I like when people become impatient.

The 3rd edition marked the beginning of a new association between Rubyize this and RefactorMyCode. I did things in a rather clumsy manner, telling people about how cool RmC was while asking them to use pastie to submit their refactored version of the code.
