This repository is a disclaimer that, yes, I can and do code in C. I even enjoy it! 😄 For reasons that are beyond my control, I am unable to post most of my project work written in the C programming language, in order to comply with University of Guelph academic policies.
You will find no actual code here.
This repository is a plug for https://git.krourke.org — go there if you need to access significant project-work written in C.
You will need to request a temporary account to view any code that is stored there. Contact me to do so.
Alternatively, take a look at any of the following public repositories:
These should give you an idea of what I'm capable of without requesting access to my private git repositories.
Chances are that you're looking at my Github because you're trying to get a sense of who I am as a computer scientist/software developer/project designer/whatever else.
You might be interested in the fact that I know and love C.
Unfortunately, due to academic policies at the University of Guelph — where I am currently majoring in Computer Science — I am not allowed to share most of the useful code that I have written as part of my studies, unless I want to commit academic misconduct.
This prospect is scary, which is why I have locked away my coursework in a private git repository hosted on my personal webserver.
Yes, in fact, I do. I am a strong proponent for FLOSS and free culture. Often times, I refuse to use proprietary software if there is a free (as in free speech, not necessarily free beer) software alternative. My favourite software license is the ISC license, due to its simplicity and lack of restrictions.
All of my personal projects are licensed freely under an appropriate software license or Creative Commons free culture license.
I am locking this code away unwillingly.
Valid concern. If you can't take my word for it, here are my grades thus far in all C-like programming courses I have taken since 11th grade. Languages that were exclusively used in the coursework are marked in parentheses.
- 96% — ICS3UI — [Grade 11] Introduction to computer science (C++)
- 92% — ICS4UI — [Grade 12] Introduction to computer science (C++)
- 99% — CIS1500 — [1st year] Introduction to programming (C)
- 91% — CIS2500 — [1st year] Intermediate programming (C)
- It is worth noting that prior to the final exam, I had a 97.8% in the course, with 100% on every assignment — lesson learned, sleep is important before a final
- 98% — CIS2520 — [2nd year] Data Structures (C)
- 100% — CIS2750 — [2nd year] Software Systems Development and Integration (C)
- a.k.a. "Angel of Death"
If you need to see demonstrable C code, for a valid reason (perhaps you are a prospective employer?), then please contact me at https://krourke.org/contact and request an account for my private Gogs installation. I will give you view-only access to any relevant repositories stored there.
