As a contractor, out-sourcer and shareware author,I have about 5-10 projects going on at any one time. Each project has a todo list, requirements need to be communicated to other outsources and employees, status needs to be given to clients, and developer's questions need to be answered. Sometimes it is too much... but then I realize th...
What small projects would you suggest to a novice with the kernel, but someone who has plenty of systems and C experience? The aim is to develop a familiarity with the kernel source code, and a facility for experimentation with crazy ideas. I'm trying to think of some manageable small tasks (for example, add a syscall), but what would y...
Do you have your own hobby development project, that you like to work on your own? If "yes", could you please tell a bit more about it (links are welcome)? What kind of project is it? Did it help you professionally? How? Is it open-source? Do other people use it? If "no" - Do you want to start one? PS: This question came up after t...

I have to sometimes consolidate the status of individuals into teams and sometimes consolidate the status of a week, for end-of-period reporting to my clients. I want to learn: Items accomplished and ...

Hello, I've recently decided to step-up my knowledge in ASP.NET (I haven't coded in ASP.NET for about 2 years or so, and much has changed since then). I want to work with the new MVC framework, try jQuery, LINQ to SQL and basically just to catch up with most of the up-to-date features. To do that, I want to start a nice project in ASP...
It's hard for me to imagine a php script that is more than a few hundred lines of code. It seems that, for a non-persistent environment, web-based scripting is usually done is small chunks and used for the purpose of delivering a portion of a website to the end user. I'd like to know if people are developing any type of large, or persi...
In Eclipse, I often include all project-related material (including documents in PDF, Microsoft, and OpenDocument formats) in the project. Is this possible with Visual Studio, especially to the point where if I attempt to open the file from inside Visual Studio, it will open in the external application? ...
Time to time we stumble upon an interesting Open Source project still in its embryonic stage. Have you found one of such projects lately, and why you consider it worth to be followed or supported?

What are your favorite personal projects? What I mean is a project that you designed and worked on without getting paid for it - but had fun developing. If you had a team of other people working on it as well, that is OK too. This can be in any language; or a program you wrote that did something another one did. Multiple posts are welc...
I work on a variety of projects using different languages and platforms. Parts of them I abstract out into their own separate projects, and I want to open some of these up to the public. What gets me stuck is the christening. So, does it matter? Should I just choose something and stick with it? And if it does matter, what's better: a ...

After my first large project, I've understood there are lots of things that can make programming more pleasant at such projects. I know some already but what else I could yet do when preparing for large projects? What I've learned this far: Minimize your requirements list for the project. Set up a repository. (*) Version your code. (*...
So, you come up with an idea that seems to be a good solution for an existing problem, or a different approach for solving a problem which makes the existing solutions obsolete or not needed anymore. Then you devote yourself to googling for relevant documentation, making plans about setting up the project, finding fundings and people t...
Let's say, for example, that a marketing group in your company asks you, a sole web developer, to build a widget (some type of web application, web feature, etc.) in 2 weeks. Given the following hypothetical facts: Your normal work duties involve building web pages in HTML and CSS and with a very limited knowledge of JavaScript. Buil...

for VS 2005 is there a max number of projects that will cause performance issues. We have now up to 25 projects and growing.

I was just looking through my system and have a lot of old projects that have multiple backups and versions (yes I know, it's before I started using source control properly ;) ) The thing is, some of these apps are used everyday by my company and many may have a lot of code that may be useful to other projects. So I am wanting to go th...
