Please comment few english sentences, Thank you!

First part:

During my years at school I have taken part in programming contests and Olympics in Informatics. Preparation for them and for the State exam gave me the understanding of different parts of computer science.

Second part:

In my future studies I would like to receive more knowledge on such subjects as internet programming, e-commerce and the creation of projects (from both computer and business sides).

Thank you very much for your time.
