LShift's Open Source implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for reliable messaging, is fast becoming well known for its low latency and high throughput.
Visit the RabbitMQ website for more information, documentation, downloads and to get involved with the community building this exciting piece of software.
RabbitMQ has been acquired by VMware .
This project was a joint initiative between Vodafone and Microsoft. It is a security framework that combines Internet and mobile technologies that span many areas, ranging from a .NET based client with hardware security token and an XML-based security protocol through to backend messaging platforms.

After spending a bit over three months at LShift, I am proud to leave LShift's mark in the Minecraft Universe. Frolicking over Minecraft's cubic pastures and passing by interesting arrangements of hovering dirt blocks suspended in mid-air is all in a Minecrafter's day's work. But if you ever see light-blue wool blocks hanging around in the air, you can be sure that someone's been . . . Shifty . . . The ones you see in the picture above, in fact, have been put into the Minecraft world by a tool I wrote in Haskell. In this multi-part series, I want to share with you how I did it.
A while ago I wrote a semi-port of Haskell’s QuickCheck. Easy enough - a property is like a test method but with arity 1, into which you inject data - potential counterexamples to your theory. In Haskell, the type system can, through unification, figure out the type of the generator required for that property. What [...]
LShift will be sponsoring another Hacker News monthly meetup event. Having been to a fair few of these types of events over the years it was clear that the Hacker News organisers have got their formula right: the talks are generally interesting and most are technical; the mix of people is around 50:50 technical : business; the turnout bordering on the unmanageable. Joel Spolsky has confirmed that he'll be speaking at the Febuary meeting.
LShift has been working with TiCL on the product development for a new app and supporting server-side system for a real-time news service. User generated news and pictures can be viewed by anyone within a certain radius of the reporter. The viewer gets an instant impression of the social networks, businesses, and community groups within their local area. The location-based news service is delivered via iPhone and Android apps.
LShift will be attending (and sponsoring) the next London Hacker News Meetup at 6.30pm on 25th January 2012. The venue will be the Central Foundation Boys School, Cowper Street, near our offices in Shoreditch.
