ZeroMQ: Messaging for Many Applications Paperback – 23 March 2013

Dive into 0MQ (aka ZeroMQ), the smart socket library that gives you fast, easy, message-based concurrency for your applications. With this quick-paced guide, you'll learn hands-on how to use this scalable, lightweight and highly flexible networking tool for exchanging messages among clusters, the cloud and other multi-system environments. 0MQ maintainer Pieter Hintjens takes you on a tour of real-world applications, using extended examples in C to help you work with 0MQs API, sockets and patterns. Learn how to use specific 0MQ programming techniques, build multithreaded applications and create your own messaging architectures. You'll discover how 0MQ works with several programming languages and most operating systems with little or no cost. Learn 0MQs main patterns: request-reply, publish-subscribe and pipeline. Work with 0MQ sockets and patterns by building several small applications. Explore advanced uses of 0MQs request-reply pattern through working examples. Build reliable request-reply patterns that keep working when code or hardware fails. Extend 0MQs core pub-sub patterns for performance, reliability, state distribution and monitoring. Learn techniques for building a distributed architecture with 0MQ. Discover what's required to build a general-purpose framework for distributed applications.
