Getting started?

[Reuben Perelman]

Hey, I know some basic C++, and I thought the reactos project would be a 
great way to learn more about c++ and programing. What's the best way to 
get involved in the reactos project?

1. get a local replica of the source code repository at 
svn://svn.reactos.com/ (browse it here: http://svn.reactos.com/viewcvs/)

2. find a piece of code you can complete/improve

3. get build tools

4. complete/improve THAT piece of code

5. rebuild ROS

6. test it

7. send a patch to the ros-dev list

I've got a local copy of the reactos svn trunk, I've got xmingw. It's 
just that the only thing I've ever done with C/C++ is extremly simple 
stuff, less than 100 lines. I'd love to work on improving the installer, 
but I don't even know where the files for the installer are.

The stage I installer is here: trunk\reactos\subsys\system\usetup

I knew VB pretty well in highschool.  I am at college now and i am 
computer engineering major so i took computer programing 1 and 2(C++) 
and i taught myself C#. I knew a decent amount of both lanuages but 
nothing special really.  I pretty much did what EA said to do with ROS 
and I guess it turned out well.  So dont get discouraged, just read a 
lot of code and try a lot of different things.
