This website is intended for publishing articles and tutorials on topics about programming, electronics and technology in general - and everything in between.

I have always been curious about learning new stuff and how things work. I also enjoy teaching others, aand this is where this website fits in. By teaching others, I feel like I gain a different (more in depth) understanding on the topic - which I love!

Why Virtual Geek?

Virtual Geek is a name I adopted way back in 2012. I had just started getting into programming, and wanted to be able to share thoughts and ideas regarding programming, and thus the need for a name arised.

The definition of Virtual and Geek is as follows:

Virtual: (adjective) not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so.

Geek: (noun) a knowledgeable and obsessive enthusiast.

Combined, we get:

A knowledgeable and obsessive enthusiast, not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so.

Which I think is suitable, given that this is in fact on the Internet, which we all are by definition not physically existing as such, but rather made by software to appear to do so.

I hope you will enjoy this fun and knowledgeable journey with me!
