comment In general, is it ethical to make a copy of work source code and take it home as reference?
I don't think this is a good rule of thumb. You also don't tell at work and do it secretly if you're looking for a new job, but it's not unethical.

@JeffO you are right. My question is not really about what to do with my career, but what to do with this particular development project. I'll edit the question to clarify that.

Does this mean that they really understand it? For example, they might be just repeating the slides without really understanding it

comment Formal study about trends and prevalence of agile vs traditional methodology in the industry
@pdr I agree, the definition is kind of tricky. That's why I asked for formal studies. Normally those studies came up with some useful definition, or maybe use some objective scoring system like 0 - 100 continuum

comment Should I try persistence in flat file before database?
Disagree. I would still need to learn how SQLite work, and implement code that manipulate SQLite database in .NET, convert query result to objects, etc. so it doesn't make development easier. It just adds all the burdens of creating a database, without the advantages of a full-fledged database server.

the actions in the queue will be executed. benefit from database include performance, concurrency management, and probably the client will also care about security, readability & query of data.

The application manages a queue of requests, and it needs to remember the queue after closing and restarting.. there is no obligation to use database like in your application
