Very quick user page...

I'm a student from England interested in the generic fields of technology, computing and video games. I'm considering doing a university course in Computer Science w/ Games Development, but currently have concerns toward the financing for accommodation away from home.

I've had generic programming experience in a number of languages, and I'd say I understand the basic concepts of programming. I signed up to Wikiversity to follow up the C Programming topic, I'm learning C for 2 reasons: 1, C is a language that a lot of languages are based upon - understanding it will aid understanding a lot of others; and 2, C is considered a bit lower-level compared to it's variants - the programmer has a higher degree of control in the low-level operations, I want to study and understand these lower-level operations to further aid my understanding of computing and programming in general.

Whether the statement above is accurate or not, I have yet to learn.

As for my wiki experience, the first time I've actively contributed to a wiki would be with the Team Fortress 2 Wiki - of which I hold the staff position, I've been contributing to - and thus editing wiki's for about 6-7 months now, and I expect I'm aware of the general wiki etiquette.
