I am pleased to announce that our US Public Sector Developer Evangelist team will be hosting a dinner seminar that's geared towards developers, hobbyists and academics that are curious to learn about the capabilities of Microsoft Robotics Studio.  This session will provide an overview of MSRS, its application model and Visual Programming Language as well as peek under the hood at the MSRS technology foundation - Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), and Decentralized Software Services (DSS).

 

The sessions will be held in Reston, VA (Dec 5th) and Washington DC (Dec 6th).   There is no cost to attend.

 

 

What you will learn:

·         How to get started with Microsoft Robotics Studio

·         How to easily create services for a wide variety of robot hardware using the Visual Programming Language

·         How MSRS makes Asynchronous Programming easy with the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) which simplifies programming to handle asynchronous input from multiple robotics sensors and output to motors and actuators

·         How the Decentralized Software Services (DSS) application model makes it simple to access, and to respond to a robot’s state, using a Web-browser or Windows-based application thereby allowing real time monitoring of robotic sensors and response to motors and actuators.
