About

This is a WIP guide

I believe that ZeroMQ is a diamond in the rough that is still a in the early adoption stage despite being a mature project. In my opinon, the lack of traction for the library is due to the community rather than the technology itself.

ZeroMQ suffers from a significant learning curve due to its foreign concepts. It requires the programmer to think differently about messaging. When this is combined with a lacking documentation, it results in very significant time requirement to properly understand how the library works and how it can be used.

I want this guide to reduce this time requirement by explaining the key concepts of ZeroMQ, give real world usage examples as well as a general vision of how it could be use. To do so, we will use libzmq-rs which is a library aimed at making ZeroMQ dead simple to use.
