Yes.  I have a BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering from Westminster
University.  My web site has my publicly available CV with details.

Only ones which don't read things like PCZone.  (From now on referred to
as PCZ.)

Speaking personally (as I can't speak for anyone else) mine is anything
from a minimum of two days.  There are compression questions which Iv'e
been working on (on and off, anyway) for upwards of a year.

for things like programming, graphics, physics, tutorials and the like
which a lot of people here may find useful.
