+=== Formal studies ===
+
+ * Undergraduate diploma in '''Mathematics and Computer Science''' with
+ a rating of '''56 out of 60'''.  Obtained in 1993 at the Istituto Tecnico
+ Commerciale "A.Volta", Firenze.  This course included a good amount of
+ '''Electronic Engineering'''.
+
+ * Attended one term of Software Engineering course at Unviersita' degli
+ Studi di Firenze in 1994.  Computer Science exam '''30/30 cum laude'''.

+ * '''Compilers''', reading several textbooks such as CompilersPrinciplesTechniquesAndTools,

+ * '''Algorithms''' - textbooks such as DonaldKnuth's TheArtOfComputerProgramming,
+ CambridgeUniversityPress's NumericalReceips and even NicholasWirth's ancient
+ "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs".
+ 
+ * '''Operating Systems''' - Too many textbooks to mention here, most of
+ which quite theoretical.  My favourite is of course AdvancedProgrammingInTheUnixEnvironment.
+
+ * '''Networking''' - Many, many books, including TcpIpIllustrated.
+
+ * '''Programming Languages''' - Using the obvious textbooks such as BjarneStroustrup's
+ SeePlusPlusProgrammingLanguage, and many others like SeeProgrammingLanguage,
+ ThinkingInJava.
+
+ * '''Programming Techniques''' - Many.  Such as SeePlusPlusTemplateMetaprogramming.
+ My absolute favourite is BrianKernighan's and RobPike's ThePracticeOfProgramming.
+
+ * '''Software Architecture and Design''' - Lots of titles such as GangOfFour's DesignPatterns,
+ UmlDistilled and UmlDesignPatterns.
+
+ * '''Project Management''' - My favourite certainly is TheMythicalManMonth, but I've
+ read a few others such as ExecutionPlainAndSimple.
+
+ * '''Technical Writing''' - TheElementsOfStyle and TheTexBook are my favourite on
+ the topics of stylish writing and typesetting.
