Designing Applications with MSMQ: Message Queuing for Developers

Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) - which is incorporated into the newest version of Windows NT - brings asynchronous transaction processing (TP) capabilities to the Windows platform for the first time. MSMQ combines the high performance and robustness of mainframe transaction processing with the flexibility of objects, an administrative ease-of-use, and an ability to scale. As such MSMQ is a key technology contributing to the growth of Internet commerce and intranet distributed processing. Whether you are a Windows programmer who is new to transaction processing or a UNIX programmer who wants to learn more about MSMQ, this book will introduce you to the topic and show you how to develop transaction-processing applications using MSMQ technology.
