Thanks!

I am currently a first year Computing student at Imperial College London and I have a fair amount of experience with concurrency, as it was part of my Programming module in Java, where we discussed various thread-safe implementations of abstract data structures (Lists and Red-Black Trees for example). I can say that I felt a huge interest in the area from the beginning, which is why I would love to contribute to your project. My only concern is regarding the prerequisite knowledge of C++. I have programmed in C++ for nearly 4 years during High School, but the purpose of my course back then was algorithms, so even though I can say I am familiar with the most usual header files and functions and with the language particularities like memory access, I do not yet have much OOP knowledge. However, I do have OOP knowledge in Java, which is why I am optimistic about my ability to learn the OOP particularities of C++ quite fast. I would like to know if the project is doable having considered my current abilities, what my chances are of being selected and what I could do to increase them. Also, could you give me some more information about what is expected to be achieved in terms of data structure thread-safe implementations (how many of them, what exact data structures represent a priority), so I could think more deeply about organising a schedule for the summer, considering that the first 2 or 3 weeks are going to be tougher for me because I will have to split my time between University tests and projects and Summer of Code? Thank you in advance for you time and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Tiberiu Bucur Imperial College London Computing First Year Student
