Hello, I’ve been a long time reader of both this forum and the one that preceded it, but this is the first time I’ve posted. Here in the UK, a qualification taken during the equivalent of junior year has been introduced, called the Extended Project Qualification. Students carry out research to produce either an essay or an artefact (with a smaller but still substantial write up). As I am interested in study and eventually a career in some field of computer science, I chose to program my artefact, and I am developing a system for my school. Therefore, I am researching many areas of development such as how to go about developing to a brief, information capture from potential customers, and different methodologies for project management.
I have many secondary and tertiary sources, but my write up would be greatly improved by talking to a few real people. Do you, or does someone you know, work in a field involving the above areas? I would be extremely grateful to email, Skype/Discord or otherwise talk to ask a few questions. For my bibliography I’ll need your name and some other basic information, but it will only ever be seen by me and a handful of teachers/ people from the exam board.
tl;dr I would like to ask you about your job in software development for a school project.
