Hello all, some of you may already know me, but I need some help.
I've been working in VS2008 for a little over a week now, a complete newbie to c sharp and VS. Basically, to learn, I don't like doing those step by step tutorials, like on C# Station: C# Tutorial - Introduction. I learn by giving myself a goal, and figuring it out. A couple good examples are in my tutorials, C# Tutorial: Annoy Your Buddies! and C# Tutorial: Creating a report using a Date Picker. Both of these were "learn as you go" experiences.

Here's where I need help-
I need a new "project". By looking at these tutorials, you can see how much I know (or don't for that matter). Can someone please give me a project? Anyone care to spend a little time helping me along lol? Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Also- If this is posted in the wrong section, just let me know / move it.

You could build a client for go :)

Maybe basic game programming with c#. It might be more interesting for you.

to start. Then maybe some XNA. Do you have prior programming experience?

Those tutorials at the page i listed are very easy to understand. Just make sure you are doing your own code.

I'm working on a 2d scroller with XNA right now!

I'm a newbie for C# too. Thanks for the info.

Well the first thing I had to make when I started C# was a file explorer. I should say that this project would only be useful if your using WPF. The program I was designing saved files in a specific format and we wanted there to be a file list that showed some special data about each file and presented them in a nice way. It taught me a lot about XAML.

If your interested, this link might help. Along with learning about XAML you'll also learn about accessing the file system with C#, which is a good thing to know.

A couple google searches you might want to look at.
C# WPF Data Binding
C# file system

Good luck, hope you like the language. I think Microsoft did a really good job with it.
