Message Queue Fundamentals in .NET
Message queues are a core technology for building fast, reliable systems. This course teaches the fundamental messaging patterns with practical .NET implementations using MSMQ, ZeroMQ, cloud message queues, and WebSphere MQ.
What you'll learn
Message queues are a core technology which all .NET developers and architects should be familiar with. They enable you to build high throughput systems which can scale beyond threads and processes, and which are inherently resilient - where different technologies can communicate with each other, and requests are never lost. This course will teach you the fundamental messaging patterns and explore popular queue implementations you can use with .NET: MSMQ, ZeroMQ, cloud messaging with Azure and AWS, and WebSphere MQ.
