Anyone who's interested can read this wiki, but only VPCI Computer Studies students may edit it. If you're a VPCI CS student and you'd like to help edit this wiki, please follow the instructions below.

Don't have a Wikispaces account?

 * 1) Click the **Join** link at the top-right of this page.
 * 2) In the //Join Now// window which appears, type a username constructed of your //**lowercase**// given-name and //**lowercase**// family name separated by a period (preferred) or an underscore (acceptable alternative). For example, Victoria Windsor would type //victoria.windsor, //or //victoria_windsor. // If neither username is available, try adding //vpci// at the end.
