Presentation: "Messaging is not just for Investment Banks"

Time: Friday 15:30 - 16:30

Location: Fleming Room

Abstract: Today, we use web for content distribution, remoting, application partitioning and distribution. It seems that HTTP calls have become a preferred way to think about distributed systems in general. HTTP and Web services definitely have a lot to offer, but they are not the only way to do things and there are definitely cases where web is not the right choice. Unfortunately, lots of teams just stick with web services and hack on, trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. A different distribution paradigm can sometimes save us quite a lot of time and effort both in development and later in maintenance. In this talk, Gojko Adzic explains how even everyday Web projects can benefit from messaging and why architects and developers can't afford to ignore the benefits of that approach.
