What you need for this book

In order to get the most out of this book, the reader is expected to have at least a basic understanding of what messaging is all about and a good understanding in at least one object-oriented programming language. As the book features the RabbitMQ Java client API in order to demonstrate how to use the message broker, it is good to have at least a basic understanding of the Java programming language. Most of the examples are not specific to a particular operating system; if they are, it is explicitly mentioned whether this is, for example, a Windows- or Unix-based distribution such as Ubuntu. For this reason, there is no particular requirement for an operating system in order to run the examples.
