Projects Worked On:
·
I wrote a comprehensive file
structure using the C++ Standard Template Library to list files and
directories found on a CD-ROM in a tree, similar to "Windows
Explorer". This allowed the users to navigate through the files
and directories and expose CD-specific information regarding it,
such as "sector location" and "file flags", to name a couple.
This proved to be one of the most attractive features of our
application.

I expanded on the C++
