Hey all, I would like, if possible, you could tell me some ideas for projects. I have a friend who needs my help doing his final project but i run out of ideas. I think helping him will help me keep the C# programming skills i got from you guys. Thanks so much, any help is greatly appreciate it!! Best regards

Your friend is best asking his instructor for guidance. That is what they are supposed to be there for.

I agree on that. I asked my friend to find out what kind of project or field his professor wanted but all my friend got from him was a "Think what you would like to do and we talk on Tuesday." This is very important because this is like one big step to graduate from University. Another thing is that my friend doesn't really know a thing about programming or hardware, so basically i will be tutoring/helping him build the project from the beginning to the end. I know there are a lot of "ethic/moral" principles involve and it might be wrong to do it. But as long as i don't cross the line between helping him to do it and do it myself i think it will be ok. I thought of a: "Vehicle with a camera and fingerprint reader to ID the driver and the passengers" good for companies with no passengers policies. This is project is more suited for my country Dominican Republic where people tends to give a ride to anyone. Also i thought of Mobile/smartphone application that constantly send a message where the owner is located, but the fact of violating the principle of privacy makes me uncomfortable; so i am about to discard that idea. I have this tools, maybe it will help to know i have them: * Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 * Microsoft Sql Server 2005 * Microsoft Finger Print Reader & the GrFinger SDK * An extra low resolution small camera * If it is needed i can get a GPS receiver. * 2 PDA with WM 5 * Belkin Bluetooth adapter * a few Atmega 8 with the "programmer" Again Thanks for the help, Best regards.

kingletas, If your friend is not a programmer, do you think he will be able to do your idea of a camera and finger print reader?, with that idea, you will be writing it your self. I think you should go for something FAR simpler: a CRM app (SalesForce.com) or a content management website like Blackboard.com. Think SIMPLE. Regards, Gareth.

For someone who really isn't a programmer, this would be very bad. Try something simple.
