[ros-dev] About GSOC 2016

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hello Oleg,
I know how to solve your issue. If you really want to learn driver 
development, and you're self-motivated, then the solution is to watch 
two series of lectures. First series are my operating systems lecture, 
which gives an overview about how operating systems are built. And 
second is the Windows Kernel-mode Development lectures by Aleksey 
Kostyushko, generously made available on a video recording too. THose 
will be the most relevant to you.

You can find links to them at the following page:

Regards,
Aleksey Bragin
