[Florian 'Proff' Schulze]

I'm currently doing CS and I think it helps me to get a better programmer. I
learned very much for myself before, but I especially understand things like
algorithms and datastructures much better now. And I learned very much
mathematics etc. I think it enhances and deepens my knowledge very much.
