In order to understand how other people work with project solving I put up this project formulation: The project involves several different customer databases where data should be read and uploaded to the project's database server. Close to nothing is generally known about the customer's database when a new customer arrives, apart fro...
EDIT Appreciate all the inputs guys. Opinions were very welcome, I think we'll go with an L2S implementation at this point and just roll-up/encapsulate our DAL in such a way that if we need to change to EF in the future, it won't be too painless an operation. As it was pretty subjective, points go to the poster with the most upvotes. ...
I have an idea for a web site that's is similar to StackOverFlow. In other words, a place to make questions and to obtain answers, but for a different subject area of StackOverflow. I have good skills with delphi for win 32 and some with Firebird and something in Java. Nothing for web. The problem is that I don't know how to plan this, ...

I know that many, many developers, start projects and then get stuck or lose interest and move on to something else. Do you have any unfinished projects and why did you stop? Did you ever motivate yourself to come back and finish it, or are you deleting them after some time and forget about the original idea? ...
In one discussion among colleagues I have heard that function point analysis is not used nowadays since it can go wrong for various reasons. So WBS (work breakdown structure) is used commonly. Is that true? ...
Hey everyone, I'd like to implement a voting system on my site, without having to force them to create an account. They would ultimately be voting up/down a piece of content which has a unique ID. I know that I could store entries in a table with IP/ID, but what if there are more than one user coming from the same IP? Is there a way t...
When you're starting a new project, how do you plan for it or how long does it take? Pseudocode? Flowcharts? Do you try to think of all the classes in advance? TBH, i never plan anything. I get straight to it and think of solutions as problems arise. Mostly because the few times i tried planning in advance, i would always forget somet...
Other than just saying read Mythical man month, how would you explain to a project manager that although two programmers will do close to twice the work of one programmer, 10 programmers probably wont do 10 times the work. ...
Background: I have an application with a relatively complex Access Control List. It has resources that inherit tasks from other resources, as well as add their own, and so forth. To ease development and for documentation purposes, I'd like to be able to create charts/graphs of my ACL. Now, I'm not too familiar with UML, but it seems li...
How do convert effort estimate say in function points to a specific web framework like django? Or is effort estimation solely dependent on the architecture of the web framework? ANy hints or guidelines would help. EDIT would you be restrictive in thinking say, this is my framework, say django, and let me think in terms of converting my...
I understand this is a subjective question but I want to see how others dealt with this issue: How do you convince yourself and your teammates while trying to start a business or a project and suddenly faced with competition, whether due to lack of research or entirely new startups, that we should keep going? What are some motivational...
Learning a lot in my few years of programming that the best projects are the ones with a clear ‘strategic plan’. That means understanding the goal and research, Research, and RESEARCH! The most important concept that teams has to realize that it’s not the ‘goal’ to show how smart you are or use the most complex design patterns, but havin...
I'm currently estimating a new project. My high level estimate assuming there was one developer working on it is 25 weeks. In reality there will be two developers working in parallel. What factor would be reasonable to reduce the estimate by? (I realise that it will not be 0.5) ...

I want to be able to place lights in different positions on a stage and I want to be able to script each one of them to do various operations such as turning, go on and off at certain intervals, change color, etc. Being r...
I have an Access db I wrote that I've used for my checkbook and budgeting for the last 3 years. I've never written a program before, but I've decided to write the db into a stand alone program. My only experience, besides the simple VBA in the db itself, is an Intro to C++ class and an OO Logic class. Even though I know what I want ...
