Besides that, Octave has been useful to me, so I'd like to be useful to Octave as well. (:

My most significant C++ experience is a four-person project for a university programming course in Fall 2013; the [https://github.com/quarian/revenge-moon-storm sources are available] on GitHub (my account is lippinj).

I have taken a course on mathematical computer programs, about half of which was about Matlab. I've since used Matlab or Octave here and there to help with my studies.

You can see some of my code in the diffs I've submitted to [https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41186 bug #41186].

* Please describe your experience with other programming languages.
I have some experience with python, both inside and outside of university courses.
It's my go-to language for day-to-day programming tasks.
For example, I use a simple script of my own to keep track of my timetable.
I also worked for one summer with ArcGIS, which involved python scripting.
I also know a bit of HTML, CSS and javascript.

The C++ course project I mentioned above was done in a group of four people. We discussed our project on IRC  Besides that, I have no experience with team development.
