    Look, your post graduate project time framed for 6 months is a tiny piddly thing which really involves wiring up two existing components in the .NET Framework. There is nothing at all innovative in this. As I said you could put a proof of concept together in an afternoon. In order to do all the research and documentation behind it will take a wee bit longer, but then I compare what you are doing for a post-graduate degree to what I did for my under-graduate degree 14 years ago. Now, 14 years ago the tools were more primitive and I had to do a heck of a lot more work and yet I managed to turn in a working Geographical Information System that could read Ordnance Survey map data. You could pan and zoom around the map, turn on and off various map features, change the styles, select stuff on the map and perform spatial queries on it and so on. I had to write my own code for practically everything because I didn't have fancy frameworks to do most of what I had to achieve. If this is the state of education these days then we shall surely end up worse up much worse off before long.

    There should be a Q.0 in every computing related exam asking for a definition of a trivial concept, say an array. The question should carry no more than 1% of the final mark, but if the examinee cannot answer 100% the question then they fail the entire exam. F'em if they can't take it!


    Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

      I am an Msc computer science student.As part of our studies, i have 6 months project.I have selected the topic 'email notification of file system changes in c#'. Please give me the description and source code of this project.Also suggest the modules that can be included in this project and rate it(ie is it suffiicient for a 6 month project)

        Every time I see a post like this I think there should be a requirement that you have to be a member for a month before you're allowed to post anything. Scott

              Now if the failure to learn something is with the school or uni, I can understand you try and get your money back. But is the uni at fault here? :)

                      Wow, cnosidering the number of changes that can be made to an entire file system, that could generate more emails than any spammer on this planet today. Oh...and how would emailing file system changes be useful to anyone?? After being in this industry for 23 years, wearing many different hats, I fail to see how being notified of file system changes would be useful...

                          Never mind your undergrad work; the DOS based tetris game i wrote my junior year of HS at a final project over the course of about 2 months is a few orders of magnitude greater in scope than this kidiot's farce. :rolleyes:

                                      Well, I suppose I wouldn't want to deny us the fun of ridiculing people like that.
