Possible BSc/MSc project areas. I am happy to discuss projects with anyone who has a 'techie' project. If you don't have an idea, here are some of mine:
  • .net, c#, vb stuff
  • software to help teach programming
  • UML drawing package for beginners
  • GUI design projects
  • python, scripting...
I’m a lecturer in the School of Computing and Management Sciences, at Sheffield Hallam University.
Currently, my main interests (apart from teaching) are programming languages (Java, VB.net), scripting, software engineering, and the internet. (see below for a sample chapter from ‘Java for Students’.
Outside computing, I'm doing music, yoga, reading American crime novels, and writing books.

Technology used to write the books:


The Amstrad nc200 - great keyboard, runs off torch batteries, has a floppy disc. £40 on Ebay.
OK - it has CP/M OS, and can't do graphics or run Word. I work in HTML, and have written stuff to insert code extracts. Also, it doesn't use a mouse, and this was good for me, to avoid RSI. Some old technology it good!
