Hi Fellow NetSIG-ers — our next topic in the "queue" is RabbitMQ for Newbies! Learn how apps communicate asynchronously using RabbitMQ, a lightweight message broker. We’ll cover Pub/Sub basics, code review simple pub/sub clients, and run live AMQP and MQTT demos. 🕒 ~1 hour | 💻 Docker demos | 🧠 Beginner-friendly
BTW, NetSIG will be meeting in the Big Conference Room on October 23 (at 6:30pm)
Bring your laptop with Wireshark, and an OpenWrt router (if you have one).
