Book Description
Get the practical reference to programming robotic applications using the Microsoft Robotics Studio. Ideal for programmers familiar with Windows®–based development using Microsoft Visual Studio® and the Microsoft .NET Framework, this guide shows how to use the services provided in the Robotics Studio to handle navigation and remote control, speech, video, and intelligent behavior in a robotic device. It covers the Visual Programming Language included in Robotics Studio, and offers illuminating code examples in Microsoft Visual C#®.
About the Author
Sara Morgan, MCSD, MCDBA, specializes in Web-based applications and the author of Building Intelligent .NET Applications: Agents, Data Mining, Rule-Based Systems, and Speech Processing.

Very Cheap and in Perfect Condition!,

This review is from: Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio (Paperback)
For only a few dollars plus shipping, the deal on this book is well worth the fairly long wait for international delivery, and is even better for those living in the US.

Programming Microsoft® Robotics Studio,

This review is from: Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio (Paperback)
I find the book to be lacking in substance in some key areas, but it was still useful for getting some of the basic ideas behind the MSRS.

Glad to finally have a book for MSRS,
By T. Clark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio (Paperback)
This book is a good start but I can't wait for the next edition (if there is one). The author attempted too much coverage for the limited number of pages (a little over 200). I have completed all of the Microsoft Tutorials for MSRS and this book is a refreshing change. The author begins with coverage of SERVICES and does not include any illustrations. Microsoft Tutorials and Powerpoint presentations have several great illustrations on SERVICES. Also, the coverage of SERVICES is completed in an orderly manner but not in the same order used in the coding chapters (chapters 5 and later). There are the expected typos, as you expect in a new book. A couple can cause frustration until you figure out what happened.I will say that MSRS books are very much needed. While MSRS is not a huge software product, it contains several new concepts for many programmers. I have a background in C, C++, C#, and VB. MSRS is best when using C#. In summary: 1. I would have liked to have had a thicker book (like the one coming out in June from other authors. 2. The author of this book made the decision to only do superficial coverage of MSRS subjects such as Simulation and VPL which I believe will be used quite a bit in academic enviorments and more everywhere in the future. The VPL feature of C# code generation is important and deserved move attention. 3. The author's style of writing is great and very readable. I wish her well and look forward to a 2nd edition. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Good, but needs more,
By Quintin Balsdon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio (Paperback)
This book, much like Professional Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (Wrox Programmer to Programmer), gives good examples, but only for what is explained. If you are interested in doing something like converting hardware robotics applications to simulations, then this is NOT the book for you. Also, to do the examples, you would require to have the robots, and each chapter makes use of a different robot.If you are only interested in the hardware and not the simulation, then this book is excellent. However simulations (one of the KEY features in MSRS-MRDS) is sorely missed. Especially in conversion between hardware and simulation projects. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Dissapointing,
By Blake C. Mann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Microsoft Robotics Studio (Paperback)
This book is not very helpful for someone trying to learn MRDS. You would be better off sticking to the tutorials on the MS website. There is very little detail about how to actually get started writing robotics software. The best I can say about it is it references other interesting projects. I wonder if this author is actually a MRDS developer because if she was she would have gone into much more detail about the nuts and bolts of MRDS.
