Okay, I have an interesting question, and I've been thinking about this for a while, trying to phrase it properly to get the right answer, so here goes...

What project that you were involved in did you give your greatest contribution, in either lines of code or ingenious problem solving?

I mean "ingenious problem solving" strictly programmatically, such as a particularly useful and reusable code algorithm you're especially proud of. If nothing like that, your greatest contribution in sheer mass of code, being responsible for most (or the entirety) of the project. What I'm asking is... what project did you give the most to?

EDIT: To clarify, if you are contractually bound to not divulge information about the aforementioned project, then perhaps a better choice would be something you aren't contractually bound to not divulge. Or, alternatively, simply stating what you can inform us about.

I can't wait to hear everyone's answers. :)

I've put together a few things I'm proud of. Dynamically generated JavaScript to perform validation on a dynamically generated form based on user-configurable validation rules is perhaps the nastiest bit of work I've done.

I also put together a dynamically generated SQL query to search for values that are calculated based on values stored in the database. The where clause had to account for a few dozen possibilities.

Wow, that sounds tricky.

Well I did a database management software a while back where I did the entire thing by myself. I literally did everything, created all the swing interfaces, the database, and the application code that works with the database.

It had a dynamically generated SQL query to perform searches based on what values the user inputted. Basically if the user inputted a first name it would search based on that. Anything the user entered to search by it would use to build a search query. Was very frustrating at times.

Probably a complex test system for my company.. Took ages, even though we were a team, but I learned a lot!
