We're ready to create a [**messaging endpoint**](/nservicebus/endpoints/). A messaging endpoint (or just **endpoint**) is a logical component capable of sending and receiving messages. An endpoint is hosted within a process, which in this case is a simple console application, but could be a web application or other .NET process.

In the **Program.cs** file, modify the code to look like the following:

In the next 15-20 minutes, you will learn how to define messages and message handlers, send and receive a message locally, and use the built-in logging capabilities.


## What is a message

A [**message**](/nservicebus/messaging/messages-events-commands.md) is a collection of data sent via one-way communication between two endpoints. In NServiceBus, we define messages via simple classes.

Following these guidelines will make your message contracts easy to evolve in the future.


## Processing messages

Note how after sending a message, the prompt from `ClientUI.Program` is displayed _before_ the `ClientUI.PlaceOrderHandler` acknowledges receipt of the message. This is because rather than calling the `Handle` method as a direct method call, the message is sent asynchronously, and then control immediately returns to the `RunLoop` which repeats the prompt. It isn't until a bit later, when the message is received and processed, that we see the `Received PlaceOrder` notification.
