The Recurse Center is a retreat for programmers allowing participants time, space, and resources to learn new things in the world of software engineering. It attracts everyone from seasoned professionals who want to gain more skills to less experienced individuals who are seeking a career change. Although all projects are self guided, it's a collaborative environment where everyone can learn and help each other.During my time at Recurse, I wanted to focus on lower level programming in C by building a keyboard driver. While I was there, I:- gained comfortability with C- learned more about assembly,- learned about basic operating systems and Qemu- successfully wrote my basic keyboard driver and a very thin kernel on which to test it.- learned about raw sockets in C and built a basic IRC server- participated in group studies on algorithms, data structures, coding puzzles, and the book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)- helped others with various code reviews
