Best Project Idea in VC++,JAVA?

Question

I wish to do a project in Computer Science in Java or VC++ as a part of my UnderGraduate pgm.
Pls give me some ideas for project.
I present many abstacts but all are rejected.I will be very thankful for such ideas.

Answer 1

Basics...try creating a stock inventory application, a payroll application, an automobile service/repair tracking system. I have a feeling your abstracts may be too high-level to pass muster for an undergrad course.

Answer 2

The U.S. government publishes tons of different kinds of data on the web in various formats. They rarely offer any good services to go with the data. Their web interfaces are spartan, and if they have a desktop client available it usually stinks too. Since it is public information (i.e. not copyright) you are free to do with it as you like.

I would suggest a project that puts the data in a relational database and does one or more of the following:

1) Develop a web interface to the data. Maybe some dynamically generated stats or charts would be nice.

2) Develop a desktop client for the data with even more sophisticated features than #1

3) Make the data accessible through a web service

All of these could be done without much trouble in Java, but C++ might be difficult and overkill. If you can do all three then you are more than ready for an entry-level programming position.

If you are truly in a "Computer Science" program then they probably want something a little more theoretical rather than practical like this, but I'm assuming you are not since "Computer Science" doesn't seem to mean what it used to.

But if you need theory, then how about testing Java threading on various OS's? If you know Java then you know since it is cross-platform ceratin compromises have been made because of the differences in how Windows, Linux, and Solaris, for example, actually handle threads. That could get interesting.

Answer 3

For my CS undergrad project I created a distributed consumer supplier infrastructure using CORBA.

It allowed any number of application to subscribe to a centralized servers which would receive, format, and publish data to all connected consumers.

The selling point of the system was it only required a consumer / supplier to subscribe to the server using a unique "channel" name. Each channel name had to be unique, and data transmitted on the channel was always of the same type (although it could easily have been generic).

The system is ideal for scientific projects that have a significant amount of data that needs to be transmitted between end-points.
For example in an observatory (star information, telescope position, device conditions, etc.).

Btw is was written in C++.

Note:

This was a team project. If you don't know CORBA, this probably wouldn't be a good project to do on your own, unless you have a full semester of dedicated time, or you plan to implement the networking aspect with something else (sockets: if you like debugging).

Answer 4

There are purely 2 IDEs worth utilizing, Eclipse for Java and seen Studio for seen C++. Eclipse is a plenty less difficult IDE, so i'd initiate with that, and use the understanding to income seen Studio.
