Hi! My name is Neil.

I've got a confession to make: I hate computer games. I used to be addicted to games, but one day I woke up and realized that I was wasting way too many days chasing those virtual reality illusions that were being displayed on my huge computer screen. So, I did something about it!

These days I teach C/C++ programming classes, helping people create various applications that can make the world a better place. I am talking about educational software, various utilities and yes, even serious games, which help people understand, and then solve pressing problems.

Feel free to explore the site at your own pace. My recommendation is to start with the first tutorial; you should be able to learn some C programming even if you've never written a single line of code before.

The second edition of his book, which was published in 1996, is a recommended read for any aspiring programmer, and can be downloaded legally, for free, from here: https://web.mit.edu/alexmv/6.037/sicp.pdf
