I never at any point of time said that I will going a new project or i need
to write a driver from scratch. I need to learn driver development and I am
surrounded by quite a few experienced guys (mostly 5+ yrs) in driver
development.
Problem is that they don’t have time to babysit me (and their approach is
not easy to understand–knowing and ‘to be able to teach’ are 2 different
things) but they are happy to help me with doubts.
Now, my request was simple. i need to learn and how do i go about it. if u
see a person in my situation, how will u guide him? that all i asked, I
think only few like Peter provided help and how to go about it; and to
me, others are making unnecessary discussion !
Please do not take any offense. I just wanted to be clear and wanted to make
this tread useful even for others, who see it later.
