Programming Experience
As described in the making patches page, we require the applicants to submit at least one simple patch to wxWidgets to show your ability to work with its source code, so please provide links to the patch, or patches, you have submitted.
Please also briefly describe your experience in the following areas:
- Experience with C++ in general.
- Prior experience with wxWidgets.
- Experience with programming on each of the target platforms (depending on the project it could be only one platform, such as Windows, or several, such as all of Windows, Unix and Mac OS X).
- Experience with tools used in wxWidgets development such as git, Bakefile, platform-specific compilers/debuggers, etc.
The answer for each question could be as brief as just one of “none”, “a little”, “a fair amount”, “a lot”, “expert” or more detailed if you have more to say about it.
Other Experience
Please describe details of your academic, industry, and/or open source development experience, and other details as you see fit. An explanation of your development methodology is a good idea as well.
