Assume you have been asked by your manager to put together a short comparison paper examining two competing technologies. For example, Ionic vs React Native or Docker vs LXC. You are asked to identify the differences and suggest when each of the two would be more applicable. This summary will challenge you to do research and to balance conciseness and completeness when writing.
The paper should follow this general outline:
Description / History / Cost (consider all related costs) of each
Differences between the products
Degree of use / Deployment
Intended application of each technology and motivation for use of each
Factors to be considered choosing between the two technologies
The four-page paper should have a title page, two pages of content and a reference page. The content pages should be single spaced. All references should be cited and all citations should be referenced. Follow APA format.
At least four references must be included and at least two of these must have been found through a library database search. The results of a database search must be attached to the paper. Avoid Wikipedia. Avoid reliance on Google and other search engines. Minimize reliance on vendor web sites. Use of academic journals and conference proceedings is encouraged. If using material from the web, consider the source and its reliability.
The following will be considered when grading the paper:
Content (understanding of technical concepts and the topic subject)
Organization (a paper structure is clear and supports the purpose of the paper)
Grammar/ Vocabulary/ Writing Style
Clarity
Completeness
Strength of reference material (evidence of research)
