Final Year Project Review

    Hi all,

    I am not too sure where to post this topic, here or the open source section.

    As the title says I just need a review / feedback on my final year project which is open source. The ideas was mine since I challenge myself to always use my own ideas. I believe I just finished by first iteration so I would like to know, if possible:
    • What you think of the concept?
    • The codes?
    • Project layout.
    • Website.
    • Anything else I am missing.

    Note: I never did C# or WPF in College so I am not a pro. I might use some of the comments as part of my documentation if that's ok.

    Here is the link: http://code.google.com/p/visual-learning-assistant/
    You will need subversion to build the application or request binary.

    I had a very quick look at this.

    1: Spelling. Get someone to check. Loads of errors
    2: Gramer. Get someone to check. Loads of errors
    3: Punctuation. Get someone to check. Loads of errors
    4: Do you really need a File menu with only one option of exit.
    5: Languages. 4 flags but only three language options
    6: Update. Caption on the Update Dialog should be Checking for Updates for Program Name
    7: What does Addon->Save Log do ?
    8: Colour scheme is horrible
    9: Font is hard to read
    10: Font size/type on the popup dialogs, on the forms etc is different from the text
    11: When you select a language some of the menu options no longer display text
    12: Animation speed on Linked List illustraion, A speed of 1 ms is faster than 6000ms. I know what you are doing but its confusing.

    I'll try and look again later

    I will look at all these issues. It's still alpha and most functions are still in development.

    I would recommend that you take a look at the PDF at this url http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511258.aspx

    Well worth a read, and try to use what you learn from it in your project.

    Keep it clean and simple!
