Light advice on a walking programming experience databse

15y2.1kSoftware Architecture/Engineering

So I've recently finished my C# course and decided its time to take on my own project & looking for some directional advise...

What I was planning on doing is creating my own personal walk around MSDN of whatever 'select' information I'd like to add to it over the next few years...

Each topic such as HTML, CSS, C# and all its topics to be loaded into a Tab form by Head Topic & Tree View by further details.. Selected nodes to display to a split panel with editable code to save changes or code code etc...

The advice I'm looking for is a rough outline of how I should go about this?

Keep it as a windows forms project?
Info to be stored on sql? access? XML? (I'm thinking Access or XML to allow me to move the app around between work and home)

Should I rather make it an ASP.NET project and store everything online?

I imagine that things will eventual start to slow down as the database grows, what would be the fastest means to access the data by the given layout choice?

Hope you guys can help
Peace out

Hi,
Before you going to develop the application.. you need to design the architecture and project planning....Based on these things we can take decisions like which one is right for storing data Sql or Access or XML.( I prefer Sql sever and Mysql personally)..
As a web developer i like web application..
if you implement ACID Rules when you are designing the database, it will be good..
No need to worry about large amount of data...

I suggest to start with simple programming (oops concepts) later gradually moves to more. You can refer lots of articles here, also start at beginners section.

It sounds to me like you just need to make notes. There is not much of a database design that will be relevant. I think you should start with either Word documents or HTML documents. Then later when you have gathered some information you can analyze it to determin how to store the data in a table or in tables, but my guess is that the data will not be conducive to storing in a database.

Not quite what I was looking for to be honest, but do appreciate the advice..

I'll give it a look through, Thanks Suthish
