This template includes all you need for your thesis in Computer Science: pseudocode, listsings (sourcecode), tables, math and equations, tables with coloured cells, figures, appendix, toc , custom title, colours and a customizable layout.
The best: all that is wrapped up in little tutorial-style paragraphs with examples.

% EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
% here we describe roughly what this work is about
\begin{abstract}
This work is intended for all those, who want to start writing immediately. For those who aim to avoid the procedure, I went through - all night long figuring out what packages to include. Finding the right syntax to make the intended layout to work. Debugging all those micro errors which may appear. Getting the bibliography to work. And then finally include the citations into the newly written text. By providing this 'out of the box' template, I hope to make things easier for you and to make you start your thesis without hesitation. You should focus on the content your work and not on it's layout because this may stop you from starting to write.\\
This work backs all the topics you need, to get started with your thesis immediately. You may just copy some of the code examples here, which is fine. If you want to create a thesis with your own taste of style, you should dig deeper into the functionality of the packages. The packages and features are focused for work in the field of computer science and include tables, pseudo code, syntax highlighting, mathematical equations and more.

\chapter{General Tools and Techniques for Your Master Thesis}
% before the chapter starts, we can write some overview
% this is good to summarize quickly what this chapter covers
At this point it may be good for the reader to get an overview about this chapter. What does it cover? What is it's purpose in the bigger picture of your thesis? It is like a micro-abstract and it helps your audience to keep on track. This is especially useful, when your thesis is an interdisciplinary work.
