MQSeries: THE MOST POPULAR MESSAGE-ORIENTED MIDDLEWARE Transarc offers a variety of MQSeries(TM) classes! Over the past four years, MQSeries has been voted the most popular Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) on the market. If you are looking to learn more about messages, queues and queue managers, Transarc's new MQSeries classes are for you! Learn how MQSeries supports the exchange of information between application programs and across a wide variety of platforms. Also hear how MQSeries handles complex communications and keeps applications independent of protocol considerations. It provides the capability for load balancing and has consistent programming interfaces across all platforms. MQSeries is asynchronous and does not require a direct linking of applications. It has Message Driven Processing which means message delivery can initiate an application and Assured Message Delivery which results in messages defined as 'persistent' being delivered once only with valid content. Learn more about MQSeries through CBTs In addition to our lecture and lab-based MQSeries classes, Transarc now offers MQSeries computer-based training (CBT) courses. These courses represent a cost-effective way to learn the fundamentals of MQSeries and MQSeries application programming. The CBTs also serve as an excellent reference tool.
