[ros-dev] Student Application

[Dasha Che]

Hello, me again. First of all, thank you for the reply, I appreciate it
very much. So, I am by no means a pro if we’re being honest. I have taken a
couple online C++ programming courses which involved working on small
individual projects. They weren’t anything too crazy, just multiple small
problem sets, but I’d like to think that I understood most of what I was
doing. The reason I’m really interested in the project that you’re working
on is because I think it would be a really interesting experience getting
to work on a project with other people, instead of picking away at
something solo. The reason I picked the NTDS Driver Development as one of
the proposed projects was because, firstly, I want to learn how to write
code for a driver and do it properly so that it worked how it was supposed
to. Secondly, it would be really cool to help expand and add-on to code
that somebody else has written. It’s like being given a pile of legos and
told to create something. Learning how to read, understand, and develop
something from things that are already there. I’ve never actually done any
file system driver development, but like I said earlier, I do pick up
things really quickly and I’m more than willing to read up on it.

Best Regards,
Dasha Chekhovskaya
