I've just got back home from a crazy 3-conferences-in-3-weeks trip, taking in Slovenia, Redmond and Germany. I've been telling developers about the recent ratification of the OASIS AMQP 1.0 Standard and the support we've added for AMQP 1.0 in Azure Service Bus. AMQP 1.0 allows developers to build cross-platform, hybrid applications using an open standard messaging protocol. Applications can be constructed using components built using different languages and frameworks and running on different operating systems. All these components can connect to Service Bus and seamlessly exchange structured business messages efficiently and at full-fidelity. I've been leading Microsoft's work on AMQP since 2008 so it's been great to finally see all this coming together.
Here are the links to the conference presentations:
