The 0MQ guide is one of the best pieces of documentation ever written. I read it years ago and continue to refer to it periodically for both projects that I use 0MQ for, and projects I don't.
It's simply a rad guide. Highly recommended.
- PieterH 11y agoThank you for this, I appreciate it. The Guide took a long time to write, around a year. It was the first ZeroMQ project where I merged all pull requests without code review. The results were amazing: most of the examples are now in many languages, a Rosetta stone of distributed programming. This was what convinced me that a "merge first, fix later" approach would work well more broadly (and it has). I'm rewriting the Guide slowly, as the software has changed and we've found nicer, simpler ways to solve some of the harder problems. There is a lot of new ZeroMQ-related material on my blog, at hintjens.com.

- fezz 11y agoI started 0MQ last year and the documentation was quite a pleasure to read and the whole thing has been great so far.
- taeric 11y agoI find I compare all technical writing nowdays to the TeXBook. Has a similar style in that it is highly technical and personal at the same time.
