Programming?

    Any computer programmers out there (Internet programmers, to be more precise - e.g. Actionscript, PHP, etc) - who have ideas on things I could code? I've messed around with a few app ideas, but I just don't know where some programmers come up with ideas for "on-their-own-time" applications that might be useful and help them keep in touch with their coding skills/learn new languages/etc.

    I write programs mostly to solve problems I have. My most successful web-site came about because I just wanted a ringtone for free. I have a site that I wrote because I dabble in the stock market and wanted a site to track my real portfolios and also be able to create fantasy portfolios.

    I also do game programming so I came up with a site that allows me to edit maps for the game. For each site I try to learn something new.

    If you are wanting off the shelf solution to sell then what is commonly requested at the moment are:

    Ecommerce
    Bulletin board
    Dating site
    "community" sites
    Freelancers
    CMS
    CRM

    All have the ability to be sold as an off the shelf or to be customised and sold as a made to order type request.

    I don't really understand what you're trying to ask... you want someone to understand your code? or to figure out the problem in your code?

    He's asking for ideas for projects he could work on.

    Since he's learning PHP I'd recommend he come up with an AJAX/Database driven site. Maybe a web-based blackjack game.

    Don't they say necessity is the mother of invention? Take a week and while you comb the net, try to observe what doesn't quite work to your expectations or what you see a need for...And then get to work!

    All my ideas and projects that I write for myself come from ways to make my programming / tasks / or anything related to the Net easier and simpler.

    One example that has saved me a lot of time is how I create my eBay listings. I was using several different apps to perform different tasks, and created a program that combined all the tasks into one app. I now can create multiple listings, rename the photos to match the listings, copy the images where they need to go, etc. in a very small amount of time, compared to the hours it was taking me in the past.

    Aything that requires multiple copy and paste, or has steps that I do over and over are generally automated with apps I create.

    My latest project is my own CMS that lets me control all the tasks of administrating my web sites (41 and growing). I am converting them to all database driven and it lets me update the content, links and anything else that are the same steps over and over with one control-panel.

    ^^ Hahaha, no offense, but hahaha at private C++ classes via mail. Are you aware of the time it would take to learn having the teacher sitting right next to you? Now take this amount of time and multiply by 100000. Good luck on finding someone silly enough to do it. :D And it probably needs to be a free too, right? How would you pay for this guys time? Please...

    Learn to help yourself. First step: www.google.com

    I've seen some of your posts on ProgrammingTalk.com, and your attitude there is the same. You're not putting ANY effort into ANYTHING. You want other people to do everything for you. People were providing you help and links, and you didn't even bother clicking them and just kept asking silly questions instead. Hey, we could come to your house and download and install it for you.

    As "cute" as you may be, it doesn't work like that. Put more effort into your own work and don't be so damn lazy.


    You're making me mad.



    Obviously. :mad:

    @babycute - If you want to learn C++, I would suggest getting a good book and taking your time and REALLY learning it. Data Structures for C++ STL is a decent one. You might also want to think about taking a class or two in a structured environment like a community college where you can save some coin.
