Summary

In this chapter you've seen how Message Queuing can be used. Message Queuing is an important technology to offer not only asynchronous but also disconnected communication. The sender and receiver can be running at different times, which makes Message Queuing an option for smart clients and also useful to distribute the load on the server over time.

The most important classes with Message Queuing are Message and MessageQueue. The MessageQueue class allows sending, receiving, and peeking at messages, and the Message class defines the content that is sent.
