Need some program ideas / homework

Hi Dubravko,

I fully agree with you.

I do believe that one must start programming from desktop applications (windows applications),
 mobile apps, websites , etc.

Select one topic/subject, do thorough analysis of your requirements, and start development step-by-step.

You also can develop all sorts of games, like playing cards, chess, etc.

Here, you are aware of all the rules of the games. So, development work can start a bit earlier also.

Lot of people will disagree with me, but I would recommend you to move away from the console application and start working on something else, ether desktop, web or mobile app.

The way I see is that the crucial thing at the beginning is the motivation and if you find console tasks not fulfilling or boring (which a lot of middle school pupils does) then there are high chances that you will give up.

So yea you could start by writing your own calculator and then try to find some already existing calculator project and compare it to yours.

Also some additional ideas Sticky Notes, Notepad, Paint, some dice game, some word game, etc. In short try to build something that you find interesting.

Also another fun think you can check out is these C# tests for programmers. Try to solve the easy ones, I believe they are a great insight in every day programmer's tasks.
