Code Connected is Pieter Hintjens' guide to building distributed software in any language. He writes, "We live in a connected world, and modern software has to navigate this world. So the building blocks for tomorrow's very largest solutions are connected and massively parallel. It's not enough for code to be "strong and silent" any more. Code has to talk to code. Code has to be chatty, sociable, well-connected. Code has to run like the human brain, trillions of individual neurons firing off messages to each other, a massively parallel network with no central control, no single point of failure, yet able to solve immensely difficult problems. And it's no accident that the future of code looks like the human brain, because the endpoints of every network are, at some level, human brains."

If you are a programmer, working in C, C++, C#, Clojure, Delphi, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Haxe, Java, Lisp, Lua, Node.js, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala, or Tcl, and you aim to build multithreaded or distributed systems, then this book is essential reading.

Code Connected Volume 1 takes you through learning ZeroMQ (0MQ), step-by-step, with over 80 examples. You will learn the basics, the API, the different socket types and how they work, reliability, and a host of patterns you can use in your applications.
