3. What is your level of comfort working with these aspects of C programming?

- I"ve never done C-programming»
- No experience in C»
- it was not possible to enter more than value, but I would chose high on both.»
- I"d say low for both points. My experience with C in general is quite limited, but at least not non-existent.»
- The boxes are behaving strangely, but i would say medium on both pointers and data structures.»
- Highly motivated to learn the concepts inside out.»
- I"m highly motivated to work more with C programming than with VHLD. I wanted to select "High" on both, but it was not possible.»
- I"we programmed several thousand hours, mostly in higher level languages though, but at least a few hundred hours in C/C++.»
- It was a long time ago since i used C. But this is something i really want to improve.»
- I have done some work with pointers and data structures in C++.»
- There is something wrong with the questionnaire, it"s not possible to choose medium for both pointers and data structures.»

- I have designed a midi controller in the form of a an electrical guitar, It"s not entirely completed but this is something I would really like to complete when there is time, the prototype is working with very little delay and all six strings are functional. At this stage it is monophonic but can be extend to be polyphonic.. The prototype is built using 2 AVR microprocessors and an Ibanez electric guitar which is connected through USB. » (Yes, a lot.)
- Music, Guitars, acoustics and music equipment is my main motivation in life. Built some studio electronics and tube amplifiers. These questions are really hitting my field of interest spot on, Embedded C, Linux, DSP, Softcore processor, acoustics » (Yes, a lot.)
- When I didn"t study at chalmers I had a lot more spare-time on which I played the guitar. Since i was techically interested I spent some time playing and reading about guitar effects like fuzzpedals, distortion pedals, tube amplifiers, delays, reverbs and phasers. » (Yes, a lot.)
- I have worked with digital audio mixers and music production softwares.» (Yes, a lot.)
- My bachelors thesis was about implementing sound effects on a digital signal processor. Also some experience as a hobbyist (doesn"t every electrical engineer want to build an analog modular synthesizer in his man cave?).» (Yes, a little.)
- Small experience from reading about it for personal interest.» (Yes, a little.)
- I"we edited a few sound waves in Audacity and played a few notes on a synthesizer. » (No, none.)
