A new CTP - A new name - A new version

Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 CTP April – is now available for download. As always, the downloads page on Microsoft Robotics is a great place to start.

The name has changed; it is now called Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio.

This also represents a new version, Microsoft RDS 2008 contains far too many exciting new features to list here, but do check out what's new.

A new blog…

To introduce myself, I'm Paul Roberts, one of the developers on the Microsoft Robotics team. I'm going to be using this blog to talk about some of what I do on the robotics team; I'll probably pay a little more attention to those features that are close to my heart. I'll also share some services that I have written that might become samples in future releases.

When we are getting ready to release a CTP, all the team members test different parts of the release by writing new services and playing with the new features – some of these remain interesting one day exercises, others become samples and tutorials, still others are about to be dissected in detail on this blog.
