Communication between different applications and processes is a necessity for sharing resources, Business logics and data. Networking solutions enabled PCs to be able to communicate with each other and share resources such as printers and disks, applications needed to be able to send and receive data and coordinate their actions with other applications running at the same time on other computers. Many common inter-process communications mechanisms were available, such as named pipes and sockets. These mechanisms were very low-level and using them required a good understanding of how networks work. But for rapid development we have to rely on the available frameworks that have stable, scalable and secured design and already tested under various scenarios.
