Questions (by Jens)¶

Publish Tutorial:¶

''' Class: rsb::Publisher '''

• What is the Publisher doing? Seems to be clear, but I have no real clue. What looks the
  communication 'pipeline' like?
• I do not understand the typedefs, because I am not into C++ very well. So I have no clue, how to start the tutorial and what is meant by Pointer and Datapointer (in comparison). Maybe the Pointer points to the Publisher and the DataPointer to the data of it?! But afterall, why do I need Pointers? It would be nice, if these two typedefs would be explained. E.g. what they do, where the difference is, what you can use them for.
