This book is the essential guide for any student undertaking a computing/IS project, and will give you everything you need to achieve outstanding results.

Undertaking a project is a key component of nearly all computing/information systems degree programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Projects in Computing and Information Systems covers the four key aspects of project work (planning, conducting, presenting and taking the project further) in chronological fashion, and provides the reader with the skills to excel.

Christian Dawson is currently a senior lecturer at Loughborough University. In this book he uses a number of real-life case studies to pass on the experiences of past student projects so the reader gets a genuine understanding of how to avoid pitfalls and ensure best practice in their own project.
