Introduction to OpenDDS Programming
Get started with the OpenDDS project, Object Computing's open source implementation of the Object Management Group's (OMG's) data distribution service (DDS), with this introductory course for C++ and Java developers.
Overview
Proficiency with middleware technologies like DDS has become an in-demand skill as more companies implement solutions driven by robotics, smart systems, and automation.
This 6-hour course provides students with an overview of the DDS specification, an introduction to the OpenDDS implementation, and hands-on experience building C++ and Java applications using OpenDDS.
