AMQP is a powerful, flexible and completely open messaging standard. Capable of scaling to millions of messages a second with incredibly low latency, AMQP is an fantastic backbone on which to build service architectures. In this talk I'll give you an overview of the AMQP standard, an introduction to synchronous and asynchronous libraries for working with AMQP in Ruby and some examples uses.

If he's finished writing it, Gerhard Lazu will do a demo of a app for buffering ICY streams using AMQP.
