So, I should start off by saying that I don't actually know C++. I plan to begin actively teaching myself to code in C++ soon.
That said, I am a student studying Electrical Engineering, and my experience with programming has primarily been Assembly. I took an intro course in C, have had a number of classes that relied on MatLAB, taught myself LaTeX, and I just completed a summer internship with a well known IT company working with Java, having had no prior knowledge of the language beforehand. I am willing to learn whatever it is that I need to know to contribute.
My interest in the project is, ironically, in the areas of most apparent need: documentation and the CS. I like to understand how things tick and consider myself to be a meticulous worker, so I actually enjoy writing documentation. My interest in the CS mostly comes from curiosity.
I have not fully completed the Developer Checklist at this time because I wanted to ask: Would there be a use for me? Would I be better off coming back later more familiar with C++, or would I do well to jump in and learn as I go?
Thanks for the hard work you all do!
