Need an idea
-
Hello, I'm a beginner (since about 8 month with c++) and I would like to write a small application, which I can use as a reference. Problem is, I don't have an idea what app to write! The application should not be network dependend (because I don't have a client/server at home), should not need MAPI or the internet (cause I have dialup and that would be a pain in the butt). The last limitation is the database. I would prefer an application that doesn't use a database. After all these limitations, does anybody still have and idea? Preferable something that would be of use for daily development (like the includes browser, which is excellent). So, any wild ideas are very welcome. Please note that I will do this in my free time. If the project is too large, I could only do it in tandem with somebody different. Thanks in advance Matthias

Hi, codegurus around the world. I pointed out your one of misunderstandings. Without the network, we can write the client-server program. That is, we can use 127.0.0.1 IP address in our own machine to check the functionality of the client-server. This also applies the web development. Try to type 127.0.0.1 or localhost in the address bar of the browser. If you doesn't have your own idea of what you want, this is not time to write you interested application. Before this, you had better learn the other stuffs like the database, network, and so on. As you write the high-level application, we notice that we have to solve the problem by ourselves basically. Good luck. -Masaaki Onishi

This already exists and is called Includes Browser. I don't know whether this application is available on this site. I have found it at the www.codeguru.com. Thanks for help anyway,

Like Dimitry says most things already exist, True like the statement when you loose something "it will be in the last place you look" Most of us here are "software engineers" and build things. For something truly new you need to be a "software inventor", Thus you first create a new idea, "successful software inventors can make real big bucks". Because they are the first to implement totally new ideas. So most of us are just trying to build better mouse traps. Anyhow Mathias if you can't come up with a totally new idea that'll be useful you have two alternatives. a.) Build a useless new idea tool, (and somebody else might find a use for it.) b.) Do what most of us have to do, analyze all the other tools in your chosen category. And work out how to, design them better, generally this involves the user-interfaces, as the backend can't be improved for compareable difference, with most hardware today. Unless it's a transaction-server or tool that really utilizes the hardware well. Regardz
