New Library is born - RabbitMQ SDK added to Github

RabbitMQ is an open-source message-broker software that originally implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol and has since been extended with a plug-in architecture to support Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol, MQ Telemetry Transport, and other protocols.

This library is a wrapper for CFML/ColdFusion apps to be able to interact with RabbitMQ via the Java SDK.

I'm stoked to be a JBoss Undertow contributor now.  I've had two pull requests accepted into the core project and working on a third. These improvements will enhance the CommandBox's servlet integration with Undertow #CFML #ColdFusion

ICYMI: ColdFusion Meetup - "Intro to NativeScript", with Alex Ziskind

Thursday July 23rd at 6pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.
Web developers are people too. They have needs and wants beyond just slinging code that is destined for the modern browser. They may also dream of building native mobile apps. But learning XCode and Android Studio and objective C might not be in the cards.
This is where NativeScript comes in; a framework that allows web developers to build native mobile apps using JavaScript and CSS. Alex Ziskind, the creator of NativeScripting.com, a school for learning NativeScript, will show you how to get started.
