[LRUG] Getting started with AMQP / RabbitMQ

[Craig Webster]

Hi all,

Following the talk tonight on AMQP[1] I started playing with RabbitMQ.
I had held off a little while because I thought that RabbitMQ might
take a while to setup what with the VHosts and security and exchanges
and stuff but it turns out it's really easy to get started. Of course,
I had Erlang already installed (MacPorts I think) but still...

Here's the (surprisingly little) work that I did to get up and running:

I'm pretty new to both EventMachine and AMQP so if there's some
"better" way to write this I'd love to know.

Thanks Alex for the encouraging and informative talk.
