ROS 2 introductory course online

Hi ROS community,

I want to share with you a new ROS 2 course that I made in collaboration with Packt, an editorial focused on learning materials to IT professionals.

This is a ~3 hours course called “ROS 2 New Features” that is recommended for people that never worked with ROS 2, or even have a basics understanding of ROS 1, and want to start with this new version.

Course description

You will be introduced to the outgoing features available in ROS 2. With simple and practical examples, we cover all of the new features, especially major features including distributed discovery, node lifecycle management, security, and more. You will learn how to make the best use of these features and how they improve and secure the way you use ROS and support modular systems.

By the end of the course, you will understand the new features introduced in ROS 2 and will be able to apply them to your systems.
