☑ BlazingMQ: Hands On

BlazingMQ is a message queue middleware system developed at Bloomberg which was opened sourced around a year ago. I think it has a lot of very useful features for some use-cases, so this series of articles looks at it in a bit more detail. In this third article I’m going to try to get a basic producer and consumer working with the broker to get some basic exposure to the APIs in C++ and Python.

This is the 3rd of the 3 articles that currently make up the “BlazingMQ” series, the first of which was BlazingMQ: Introduction.

☑ All Go: Loose Ends

In this, my sixth and probably final article on the Go programming language, I’m running through some smaller features which I didn’t go into detail on in earlier articles. We’ll look at extending and copying slices in more detail, type assertions, error handling, common string manipulations, basic file I/O, embedding files in binaries, and context objects.

This is the 6th of the 6 articles that currently make up the “All Go” series, the first of which was All Go: Basic Semantics.
