[ros-dev] Getting started?

[Brandon Turner]

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.
