I'll say that docs are delightful to read and beautifully explain the domain. I would recommend going through them even if you never use the ZMQ itself.

- vector_spaces 7y agoI remember reading the ZeroMQ docs when I was first learning about concurrency. Those plus Joe Armstrong's Programming Erlang book were really fun and eye opening. I never used ZeroMQ much but it taught me a lot of the language around distributed and high-concurrency systems and problems that come up.
- michael_j_ward 7y agoDo you have an opinion on which to read first?
- dopplerac 7y agoNot OP but if you're on the edge, try reading the first few chapters of the ZeroMQ guide. It does not make a lot of assumptions about the reader's background in computing.
- opencl 7y agoI tried reading for a while and still do not even know what MQ stands for.

- nicolaslem 7y agoI read the docs a couple of years ago but never got to actually use ZMQ for anything. Is it still worth considering for new projects?
- kragen 7y agoYes, nothing else comes close. The nanomsg author seems to have abandoned nanomsg. Typically software infrastructure like 0MQ, ext2fs, Valgrind, HotSpot, and gzip takes about a decade to get good, remains optimal for a decade or two, and remains relevant for half a century after that. A couple of years is not a long time.
