Course Overview

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a powerful, open-standard communication protocol designed for instant messaging, presence information, and real-time data exchange. With increasing concerns over data privacy and platform control, learning XMPP empowers developers to create secure, decentralized chat applications tailored for personal, corporate, or public use. Whether you're building a private messaging system or contributing to open-source platforms, understanding XMPP is essential for creating scalable and secure communication solutions across web and mobile environments.

This course begins with an introduction to the XMPP protocol, its architecture, and features. Learners then set up a free-tier Amazon EC2 Ubuntu server and install the Prosody XMPP server. The course guides users through Prosody's basic configuration and adding SSL certificates for secure communication. It covers installing and configuring cross-platform chat clients, including Pidgin for desktops, Conversations for Android, and ChatSecure for iOS. Finally, the course implements OMEMO encryption, ensuring end-to-end secure messaging across all platforms.

This course equips learners with the practical skills to build, configure, and secure a full-featured XMPP chat system compatible with Android, iOS, and desktop platforms using open-source tools.
