I did something similar in Rails. I don't have tutorial but I have give you idea that can help. To check how many user are online, I update a user column to see when was his last query. And if the user hasn't made any query for 30sec I consider he is not online anymore. For the conversation part, I use Ajax to check each X seconds if there's a new message.
