Programming Jabber provides a good, yet somewhat dated, overview of the Jabber XML protocols, and it is a solid guide for installing and configuring Jabber 1.4 server. DJ Adams does an excellent job of providing examples about how Jabber can be extended to provide services beyond online chatting:
The author comes up with an extremely imaginative use for Jabber by using Jabber to send and receive messages from a Lego Mindstorms setup that connects to a coffee maker. Programming Jabber is available from O'Reilly, and an online version is available on the O'Reilly Network.

The book is easy to read and explains the more arcane parts of Jabber in bite sized chunks well suited to the beginning Jabber administrator and programmer. The only bad thing I have to say about the book is that parts of it were poorly editted (there are several spelling errors and grammatical errors in Chapter 4, including a particularly unfortunate extra "thinsp" in the example at the top of Page 84. For this expensive a book, I was hoping for better.

Nice description of each part of the XML configure file.
