In today's show, we are joined by Arnauld Thiercelin, Head of R&D at DJI to discuss the launch of Windows SDK in partnership with Microsoft. What is a SDK? And, how will access to the Microsoft ecosystem via a SDK greatly increase the scope of drone applications?

Paul and Arnauld join us from DJI Airworks 2018 to discuss the launch of Windows SDK or Software Development Kit. Using SDK, drone pilots can offer autonomous and scalable drone solutions. You will learn about the different kinds of SDK and SDK compatibility.

Which drones are compatible with SDK? How will DroneBlocks, a visual programming tool make development easier? Is your SDK  code transferable to other drones? For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show. Fly Safe!
