[rabbitmq-discuss] WebSockets and Rabbit-mq

[Jason J. W. Williams]

Hi Paul,

Meant to paste these links in. The Rabbit guys have a good tutorial on
RPC here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-six-python.html

Also, if you're interested Alvaro and my book have a big section on
replies and RPC: http://manning.com/videla.
