Before You Start

Welcome to developing applications with AMPS, the Advanced Message Processing System from 60East Technologies!

These guides will help you learn how to develop applications using AMPS.

Before getting started with this guide, it is important to have a good understanding of the following topics:

• Developing Applications in C or C++

  To be successful using this guide, and developing applications with AMPS, you will need to have a working knowledge of the language you are developing in.

• AMPS Concepts

  This guide focuses on using the AMPS client libraries and how those libraries work with the AMPS server.

  Before working through this guide, we recommend reading the Introduction to AMPS guide.

  Detailed explanations of the AMPS server behavior are in the AMPS Server Documentation.

You will also need a system on which you can compile and run code, and a system where you can host the AMPS server.

Setting Up a Development Instance

You will need an installed and running AMPS server to use the product as well. You can write and compile programs that use AMPS without a running server, but you will get the most out of this guide by running the programs against a working server.

Instructions for starting an instance of AMPS are available in the Introduction to AMPS guide.

The AMPS server runs on x64 Linux. The Introduction to AMPS and AMPS FAQ contain information on how to run an AMPS server on a development system that does not run Linux.
