Here is the video from the talk that Dave de Florinier and I did last week on NServiceBus and asynchronous .NET applications. At the start, I talk about the fact that messaging and asynchronous applications are not just for investment banks and large enterprise systems and how lots of smaller projects can also benefit from messaging. Dave then presents NServiceBus as a nice tool to help develop asynchronous applications in .NET, talks about publish-subscribe, full duplex, saga and distributor patterns and explains sample implementations. On the end, we had an open discussion on deployment and alternatives.
Here are the downloads and links:


The sound is very poor
I’m aware of that. SM recording equipment is not the best, unfortunately. I’ll type over my part of the talk in the next few days and put it online. Not sure whether dave will want to do the same.
Were there any questions in the Q&A section that you’d like to send my way?
Hi Udi,
I think we had it covered. There were interesting questions related to deployment, but I think we answered them (and mentioned your site as a reference if people have more questions). On the other hand, I’ll leave it to blog readers to post additional questions if they have here or on the nservicebus mailing list on Yahoo.
Couldn’t force myself finish this video. Sorry but the way it’s filmed it feels pretty pointless to me. The poor sound quality coupled with beautiful but barely comprehensible British accent (aka The Real English) + weird shooting angle (can’t see the whiteboard / flipchart) + lack of slides synchronized w/ the video make this totaly useless. Don’t waste your time with this video.
Zvolkov,
sorry about the sound, I plan to type the presentation over and publish it on my blog this week. I’ll try to do something about the sound quality next time.
How is this different than WCF?
Wayne,
NServiceBus implements a number of communication patterns, such as sagas, pub-sub and distributor, out of the box.
This is a good introduction to nservicebus although the video is not that good.
The sample source code in my opinion is much better than the sample code contained in the nservicebus installation package.
