• Concurrency In Life - Practical Advice From Roman Elizarov

  … school, Roman thought that he will move on to something else - yet that didn't happen. On education: "If you go to a school focused on physics and maths, you get good engineering training which results in having a particular outlook and approach to solving different tasks. The skills you get then can be easily converted into those of programming." In 1994,…
