Below are some of my reports and essays from my Higher National Diploma (HND) in Business Information Technology, and my Undergraduate Degree in Computing and Multimedia. Where possible I have included the essay or report question that I wrote about, the level the essay/report was set at, and the grade I achieved for it. Overall I achieved a Merit (2.1 equivalent) in the HND and a 2.1 (Hons) on the Degree.

Currently I am having problems with Java downloading files dynamically - so instead of not putting this page up, all links will forward to a generic directory where all of the files are stored.
You should be able to work out which file you require from the names of them. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, but if you are a java developer and have experience with JSP and file downloads,
please contact me via the " @ " symbol at the top of the navigation bar - or via this link.
