Re: [Libipod-devel] Development for libipod

[Kendall D. <ken...@li...>]

Stick around...... :)

We'd be happy to have you as a part of our project. I'm sure there will 
be things that you can help to work on like: documentation and spreading 
the news and coming up with samples, ideas, etc...

You might also try writing your own project in C or Python to test out 
libipod?

This way you can focus on writing your code and leave the iPod 
read/write stuff to libipod.

If you have any questions just ask and we can get you pointed in the 
right direction. Writing code on your own is great work experience. 
Then, if they ask what you've done, you can tell them "Hey... check out 
my cool program!"

libipod takes away the underlying difficulty of the connecting to the 
iPod. We leave it to everyone else to come up with cool things to use it 
for. The obvious use is software music players. But, you could write a 
program that allows you to connect two iPods together and DJ off of 
them? Or maybe some way to wirelessly sync your iPod to a computer in 
your car? The possibilities are limitless.
