First, You have to design architecture and algorithms.
Second, gather information of input and output and open sources and components which will will be used on your project.
Last, implement your architecture and algorithms by your hands.

Post a message in Codeproject, preferably in the Lounge.
It should read: "Plz send codez. Urgenz".

Hi there,
I'm a graphic designer working in CS6. I have a low experience doing code but I would like to start learning more.
Could someone help me come up with my first practice project and provide me a few key words to search in google to get started?
I guess what I want to do is get into UX / UI front end design. I think?
I was thinking of going with an e-mail signature or maybe something for the web.
Hmm... I really don't know where to start?
Thank you

You know what subjects you are interested in, so try those keywords.

Cool thanks - Yeah - wasn't sure if that was the right terminology ... I have done some reading and seem to think those are related ( UI, UX, and Front end) - thanks for the encouragement - Ill google it up.

On top of the answers you received, perhaps a good thing to start with is choose your technology.
If you want to go for windows you have two options web development and windows development. (we´ll leave out interfaces, libraries and services, ...)
Windows
- learn winforms first. Fast result and easy to grasp. Very important, try to grasp the concept of assemblies n-tier development, etc... before moving on.
- learn web development (ASP.Net) it is more complex (hence you need the concepts learned in step 1) because of page life cycle and the interaction with client side code, but with your cs6 experience you should have some fun here. In Asp.Net suddenly many technologies come together: HTML, .Net code, javascript, css etc...
- Learn WPF: This has some neat features, but it helps a lot if you have some webdev experience as it is a similar of form design. (hence step 2)
unix/mac
- The only technology with decent graphic design and "easy" to learn is java (that I know of) for forms and jsp or php for web development. Java is similar to C# syntax wise.
- You can do C++ or python or something like that, but the learning curve is higher and IMHO the graphic design part basic at best.
There are tutorials out there starting from scratch, but I would recommend buying a good book.
Although you´ll create something pretty quick I would recommend a project of your own after you finish the tutorials and get that working before claiming you can program  .
Hope this helps.

Hi!
I was thinking of designing or adapting an open-source software that will read CTG results. CTG (cardiotography) is a machine designed to read fetal heart rate and give results in a graph format. Currently in most developing countries like mine, we use CTG that produces results/graphs in a paper. Now I want to change this like most developed country's CTG that give results/graphs in a computer.  I believe that by doing this, it will increase the efficiency of fetal heart rate monitoring and interpretation.
I'll be happy to receive ideas and further options that may help solving this problem.
If at first an Idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it!!

The machines which produce results on paper are analog machines. You need to intercept their analog signals, and sample them at an appropriate frequency with an analog-digital-converter.
|
|
|
|

Ok, you have open my mind, I totally forgot to think about that. So I'll need a device that will do the analog to digital conversion first, then its when i can capture data. Thank you for the advice!

I have been hired to fix a ecommerce website in PHP, and improve the SEO Organic results.
So I've been going through the code, and it's pretty old school the way it's written. The original developer who left the company back in 2007, created a product database, in which he placed all the HTML in the columns in MySQL.
So instead of a column saying "Explosion Resistant Phone" it says verbatim, shortened
"<tr><td><h6>Explosion Resistant Phone</h6></td></tr>"
And it issues a echo command to output the data above. Basically it's pure PHP with all the HTML stored in the database. All the pages are pure PHP that generates everything.
So my question is
Do you think it's worth the time to fix the database records?
Write a program in something to go through each record, strip out the HTML, decode and encode the text to the proper format, and then update the record?
I think it is, but my friends are telling me I'm crazy to do that. It will take too much time, do the best you can in a very short amount of time. But there's really nothing to work with, it's all in the database.
I really need the flexibility of altering the HTML that the data will reside in for proper search engine results, but writing a program to do this may take awhile and will triple the price of the project.
I want to alter the design to which the pages are static HTML, With containers that call PHP script to populate the items.
What do you think?

It requires more information about exactly what "hired" means and exactly what "fix a ecommerce website in PHP, and improve the SEO Organic results" means to the company (not you.)

It wouldn't take me that long to write a program to scrub the data so....
- There is more to it than you described.
- The project is much too short for any feel good enhancements.
- Perhaps you are approaching the scrubbing in the wrong way.

I should of used the word contracted to alter the mechanics of the program code to produce the proper HTML for crawling by search engines.
When I say triple the time, that includes testing the program to scrub the data, and then running it on a test platform, and then doing it on the new production website. I figure 1 day for the data program. Then take the extracted HTML and wrap it back around the data fields, and correct the HTML in the proper format. I can either alter the SQL Export file, or go into the database and alter the columns.
It means more to the company that contracted me, they have 32K products online that they sell, and 26K items can't be found at all in search results, which has resulted in a 80% drop in sales over the last 6 years. People are getting laid off.
Yes there is more to the project than I mentioned. I don't have the entire project code, just the product display system and the files needed to drive it, which is fine.
I haven't written a line of PHP in 6 years, just been doing ASP.net, and I haven't used apache server in 6 years. Plus after looking at the code for about 4 hours, they open a connection to the SQL Server on Apache startup, and never close it (That's what the comments say), won't know for sure until I get the file I need to verify it.
I have a new development machine setup now with apache and PHP, and MySQL, but need to pick out an editor or IDE to work with. Going the write the database program in ASP.net.
Anyways, I'll take that as a yes, strip out the HTML and re wrap it around the data.

Then I would suppose that they would be willing to extend the contract.
