Episode 65 - Jim Pelletier and Lessons Learned with NServiceBus

NServiceBus gets a lot of press for being a great message bus solution for application development, but it's also easy to get it wrong. Jim Pelletier talks with Richard Banks about the mistakes he's made implementing systems with it and also the lessons learned.

Apologies for the quality of Richard's audio - there were some micropohone problems at his end during recording.

Enjoy!
