Step 1: Internalize the Semantics
You must learn and digest ÃMQâs âlanguage,â that is, the socket patterns and how they work. The only way to learn a language is to use it. Thereâs no way to avoid this investment, no tapes you can play while you sleep, no chips you can plug in to magically become smarter. Read Part I of this book, work through the code examples, understand whatâs going on, and (most importantly) write some examples yourself, and then throw them away.
At a certain point, youâll feel a clicking noise in your brain. Maybe youâll have a weird chili-induced dream where little ÃMQ tasks run around trying to eat you alive. Maybe youâll just think, âAaahh, so thatâs what it means!â If we did our work right, it should take two to three days. However long it takes, until you start thinking in terms of ÃMQ sockets and patterns, youâre not ready for step 2.
