Christian W. Dawson.
The Essence of Computing Projects: a Student's Guide.
Pearson Prentice Hall. 2000

Although projects are a major component of today’s courses, until now there has been no single resource to help students acquire the skills they need to complete them successfully. The Essence of Computing Projects – A Student’s Guide will fill this gap for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It covers all the fundamental skills (surveying literature, report writing, documenting software, presentation, time management and project management) a student will need to meet and exceed the required standard every time.

Key Features
• Provides comprehensive coverage of all skills needed to produce an accomplished project.
• Includes detailed material on referencing, literature surveying, project management and presentation skills.
• Bridges the gap between academic and industrial projects.
• Gives examples throughout the text to aid student learning.
