Hi all,
At the outset, I regret having to post this slightly OT post here.
However, I strongly feel that people in this group would be the best to
advise me on my predicament.
I am working as a QA in an MNC in India, since I graduated in September
2003. I am working in a QA role which requires me to do some Winrunner
automation, and modifying/creating a framework in Perl for Automated
Regression Testing of some command Line utilities (written in C).
Although the job is financially rewarding, I am not sure I am as
satisfied with my job, and would like to move over to Systems
Programming. Since C is the defacto standard for this, I am trying to
learn C.
The problem is that since I am in QA, in am not having any 'real' feel
of systems programming. I am having access to the souce, but my job does
not require that I go through it(I am doing this on my own, though).
I would like to know what approach I should follow in getting my self a
working knowledge, so that I can present a good case for myself in an
interview.
Any pointers to projects that would help me, as well as resources
(especially online) would be helpful.
Presently I am wading through the C Faqs...and of course lurking around
this group, but since I am not really applying what I learn, it is hard
to retain or become confident in it.
Thanks and regards
AB
