Multi-platform messaging with RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is open source message broker software (sometimes called message-oriented middleware) that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). While JMS works great in an all-Java environment, RabbitMQ works across all major platforms including Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. RabbitMQ has the features you would expect from an enterprise grade message queue such as fault-tolerance, clustering, and high-availability. This is an introductory session to RabbitMQ.

RabbitMQ uses the AMQ protocol for messaging and features a nice management UI. While being lightweight and fast, it still provides excellent performance and scalability. In this session we'll cover the basics of RabbitMQ and run some live code samples.
