Hello ROS Fans,<br>
<br>
I have written a little book called <i><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ros-by-example---volume-1/13037556">ROS
By Example</a></i>. The book is aimed at new ROS users who
want to go beyond the Beginner Tutorials and create some working
ROS applications, either in simulation or on a real robot like the
TurtleBot. The book provides step-by-step explanations of a
number of ROS programming examples using code that can be
downloaded from the accompanying <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://code.google.com/p/ros-by-example/">ros-by-example</a>
repository. You can see a preview of the book including the table
of contents on the <i><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/ros-by-example---volume-1/13037556">ROS
By Example</a></i> web page.<br>
<br>
There are some important caveats if you are considering getting
the book:<br>
<ul>
<li> The companion code is written for ROS Electric, not Fuerte.</li>
<li> I have tested the code under Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 but not
12.04 since Debian packages are not available for ROS Electric
under 12.04.</li>
<li> The book assumes the reader has done at least the Beginner
Tutorials on the ROS Wiki. It also assumes at least a
one-time reading of the TF tutorials. In fact, there are a
lot of links in the book that point back to the Wiki but this
is all in the spirit of not reinventing the wheel.</li>
<li> The code samples are written in Python, not C++ so if you
don't like Python, this book probably isn't for you! </li>
<li> A print version of the book will be coming soon (hopefully
in the next week or two) but I think the PDF version will
probably be more useful to most folks.</li>
</ul>
