Projects in Computing and Information Systems: A Student's Guide

This one-stop resource takes you through the entire project process, from selecting the project, to producing a proposal, all the way through to report writing and presentation of the project or dissertation. Using an accessible yet academically rigorous writing style, the material is presented in a user-friendly format to enable you to develop your project writing skills and 'add value' to your work. This new edition has been updated to include technology and processes (i.e. choice of programming languages; agile methods) and also wider issues which are becoming increasingly important in the 'skills' area (i.e. ethics; plagiarism; PDPs/aspiration).
