Here are some cool stuff that could be helpful

Network protocols

Protocols are all around you, I’ve been trying to grasp why we use them since I’ve started programming. I’m still not 100% sure why do we need them, and so much of them, but I guess we do.

Brief introductory article for most important network protocols

You can run and you can hide… But…you’ll eventually use some protocol. It’s somewhat proffesional to know why you should use it.

Most important protocols are (e.g. I’ve worked most with them) :

TCP
UDP
HTTP
RTSP/RTP

Awesome guide for network socket programming can be found here.

Concurrency

So, sometimes you have to write code that does two things at once. And that can be really painful. Especially if you’re C++ noob as me and don’t have an idea how to do that. Well this book is quite helpful as it contains just right amount of theory as well as practical examples to do it just fine by yourself.

ROS stuff

Pretty cool cheat-sheet for ROS: ROS Cheat-sheet

The Robotics Knowledgebase exists to advance knowledge in the robotics discipline: Robotics knowledge base

NCNN-ROS

Cool repostiory that contains multiple ROS implementations of nerual networks (mostly vision). ROS-NCNN

Ros Spinning, Threading, Queueing

One of the main facilities that ROS provides is the publisher-subscriber communication² that is used for message-passing between components. While it is easy to implement the publisher-subscriber, it is not obvious what is going on underneath it and how we can tailor it to our specific problems in practice. In this post, there’s talk about the mechanisms behind the publisher-subscriber in ROS such as its execution model, threading, queuing mechanism.

ROS control

ROS Control combines a set of packages that include controller interfaces, controller managers, transmissions and hardware_interfaces.
The ROS control framework is used to implement and manage robot controllers for real robots and in simulation within gazebo.
