I have been working lately with a big group of fellow developers here in SilverKey on the architecture and design of a relatively big project that required much services and messaging work. We thought that we should implement our public services the REST way using WCF for .NET 3.5, with so many customizations, and that we’ll use a library called nServiceBus for internal messaging. Mohammed Nour wrote a little about thinking in REST.

nServiceBus is a framework for handling publisher/subscriber (pub/sub) model of messaging. It provides reliable messaging via the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) pattern, and uses MSMQ as the physical bus.

It’s an interesting piece of work to look at actually; of course free, open source. I have been involved in evaluating it for our project, and wrote a document about it as part of my work, so that it’s easier for the rest of the team to use it later. As the documentation for nServiceBus is very limited at this stage of the project, I and my boss Dody decided to share the document with the community.
