From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/ccr en Tue, 21 May 2013 22:48:07 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 22:48:07 GMT Rev9 11 1 25 Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio update with Trevor Taylor R3 version of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio I sat down to talk about the product with Trevor Taylor, Program Manager with the Microsoft Robotics product group.
 
Microsoft Robotics combines a number of components to make up a robotics system including Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), Decentralized Software Services (DSS), Visual Programming Language (VPL) and a Visual Simulation Environment (VSE).

If your robotic interests go beyond creating hobbyist robots and onto .NET based robotics then spend a few moments to get an update from Trevor and also learn how a group of students from the University Of Michigan worked with Ford and Microsoft Robotics to add a custom application platform to the car and build the next generation of in car applications.

You can find additional code samples at http://mrdssamples.codeplex.com/

Finally did I mention that Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio is now free? - you can download it here

Enjoy the show!

We've spent a good deal of time on Channel 9 addressing the Concurrency Problem and the various approaches Microsoft is taking in an effort to help solve it. George's CCR is a piece of managed technology (.NET) that provides an unusually high degree of concurrency for developers targeting Windows. The Coordination and Concurrency Runtime has been around for about five years. How are people using it today to build scalable concurrent systems? What's the current state of the CCR and what's it's future? Why is the CCR a better approach to scalable distributed concurrent programming than other technologies out there? Is concurrency the real issue? George believes that it's all about coordination(the other C in CCR) and concurrency is really just a side effect of coordinating systems. If you get distributed coordination right, then you have a concurrent system that can scale. Really? Do explain, dear George (oh, and he does and as passionately as you'd expect from him). This is a fantastic conversation. Classic Channel 9.
