ideas for a 3rd year project.

car

I am doing the cw098 course and the lectures are not providing us with much information with projects ideas for our course. It has to last us 200 hours so it will have to be some where complecated. and has to be like an internet page connected to a database.... so any ideas would be greatful, please.

Did it last year, you dont have to do a web page!You can do a networking one instead like set up a router if you dont like doin asp!!
but idea s for a web page would be something your interested in clothes cars music!!
Make sure and hound your project manager to make sure your doin the right stuff!!
makesure you have add update and delete along with any other original stuff streaming video music!!!
ideas: tourist info site
selling games
library
music shop
gaa/ sports site
clothes shop etc
anything as long as you can make it work

What about an online computer games magazine? you can do reviews of a loada games and have ppl vote on wat they think is a good game etc.

someone did it last year but they hadnt a clue so if u do it this year they'll be comparing to that fecker and give u loadsa marks.

I'm doing the project in php accessing a mysql database because i'd prefer it to asp.

Was wondering is there asp questions on the summer exam papers or are they doing it just for the project?

hahahahahahaha

i thought the idea was to have a HARD project..not something uselessly easy.
from autin kinsella "your project should be something than,after working one year in the industry, is not something that will take you a week"
sorry but any kind of ASP/JSP/SQL project is..well..stupidly easy.
also remember potential employers will want to know if you have done a project in college and saying that will just show you have zero drive and ambition. try something a little more complicated, last years 4th year networking projects are here : http://glasnost.itcarlow.ie/~net4 ..you might get some idea's from there.

Redrocket

i was looking at some of those 4th year "projects".....
some of them were pretty crap

Bollocks to that "make it hard" ****, i'll be making something that does exactly what it says on the tin. Why make something really ground breaking/jaw dropping if it's more bug ridden than a shanghai call girl after a busy weekend? ASP, Access and HTML all the way.

Maybe it's something to do with learning new things......You'd be better off to do a project you want to do and would be interested in rather than an easy project that doesn't involve any new things. If you want to do something you're far less likely to leave it till the last minute. Maybe I'm crazy or something......

wheres me jumpa

shamo your a dirty rotten liar, admit it your using asp and access!

Redrocket

ffs lads, why bother with another crappy website? you wanna end making websites for the rest of yer lives?

What do you mean another crappy website? It's not as if we're taught how to do anything thanks to the scope of CW019.l What do you expect "The Internet 2.0"?.

i_am_dogboy

Ehh, i did cwo19 and i'm hoping to do an ai project this year. No need for asp/php now is there, or even a website.

TomTom

man ai would be cool. Whats the constraints of the project. What languages are you limited too?

kegan5

word of advice for csm3 (Laguna!) if your doing a website make sure you have a hell of a lot of technology in it! And validation too if you get that your grand oh and don't bother with flashy gif images it just irritates the supervisors unless it's doing something worthwhile!

Anyway no project for us until next year uh huh!
My csm3 Project :rolleyes:

i_am_dogboy

No constraints that I know of, probably gonna use lisp or java for it, but i still have to propose the project so i may end up doing something else.

TomTom

cool, i think a good project would be to write a simple webside program that converts html to wml for map phones.

Also kegan, no offence but that site is tacky. I don't know how your not supposed to take offence to that but at least try.

kegan5

:rolleyes: erm I'm offended? lol well I like it but then I like the Riviera so I suppose it's like someone who likes networking doing a networking project

I think a lot of people did websites in csm3 last year :-/ probably coz no one can think of anything else

Laguna

I liked that riviera website. Argh, i wish i knew how to use asp, then i'd be laughing. Do you mean validation as in stuff lie numeric checks and all that sort of guff for credit card numbers and the like? dirty great big "If" statements

Isn't the point of doing a project; doing your own research, and learning a new skill/something which a lecturer didn't tell you implicitly ?
Isn't the point of an Education to have the ability to learn on your own time, and inititive ?
The reason someone employs you after getting diploma/degree -- is the fact that the piece of paper tells them you can learn on your on accord, if they say 'do blah for us', and you have no idea how to do blah, you sit on front of google for a day, learn how, and then do it ?

Stop whinging - is that all this forum is for ?
whine a question, and then whine at responses requiring effort.


Tom : Your tryign /not/ to offend someone ?
god - they Americanised you ;(

Projects I feel shouldnt be easy. sql, asp, jsp websites are piss easy to do, after u make one you could make another in a weekend. I'd like to do a hard project which requires lots of research, time and hardwork, not google "JSP registration form" and getting the code and pasting.

Also, all the crap they have u do through the year such as plans, funtional specifications etc all add up at the end. You might make the best website with the most advanced features but if all your reports are just getting 40 your mark will be very low at the end of the year. I got 75 in 2nd year project for networking, My code wasnt spectacular or anything but my reports were better than other people.

Laguna

You're going to instruct me on the process of education are you? save it. If i wanted your opinion on what i'm thinking, doing, or thinking of doing, i still don't want hear it. Hounding my every post on this forum with regular "attempts" at condescension.

The word i believe you were groping for is initiative. Good luck with that education of yours.

TomTom

Lets not get into a grammer spelling bitching war. we all have bad spelling and grammer now and then but then again we are not writing a book here.

Redrocket

ehhh kegan that website sucks!
shame on you all resorting to websites as projects for computing courses

Ivan

Ah guys. You need to put things into perspective. CW036, our course which branches off from CW019 is a programming course. Their course, whatever its called, is an end user course. i.e. working as some kind of IT admin. And given the level of expertise with most IT admins, I'd have to imagine they are right on track...

Alot of website design is about the DESIGN process. Not the making of it, technology speaking, its deciding what looks nice where. And that can only be learned by making websites.

Seriously, try not to be too harsh when judging other computer courses, its all relative.

You know, I was planning on replying to this post with something along the lines of

"You know, that doesnt look too hard."

However, after having a brief look at your project journal...

I wont.

we couldnt give a rats ass, everyone just put some piece of crap together and went and got drunk!
Laguna, pick the easiest mo fo you can find, write a savage report and you'll be flyin
