No worries :-) AMQP is fairly complicated, and I've gotten lost quite
a few times.

Yes, that's the one. You may want to have a look at the examples in
the thrift directory of txAMQP (src/examples/thrift).

You can use Thrift as a serialization library only (just like JSON,
YAML or Protocol Buffers), but it also has support for RPC, which is
very handy as you can issue remote calls and work as if they were
local. The best part is that you can use Thrift and AMQP together with
txAMQP (Thrift can be used standalone too), which is completely
transparent and you don't have to worry about parsing messages.

Let us know if you have any problem with txAMQP (with or without Thrift).

Cheers.
