What do you do with your knowledge?

Well It's seems that a lot of people talk about using these programming languages but what I wondering is what do most of you do with these skills. I mean i got some Q-Basic knowledge and some Visual Basic.net skills but what kind of programs do you make or what do you do that is cool and fun? Just a fun topic to see what some newbie programmers do and what some pros do also. Thanks, Scott

When I was like fifteen years old I made a typing tutor in Visual Basic It worked very similar to Mavis Beacon ... it had lessons and calculated words per minute and accuracy. Plus there was an extra feature where you would type any letter and it would tell you what finger you were supposed to use.

I have hard copies of some of it and I think an old .exe of the finished project somewhere.

I thought this might be an appropriate place to "spam" So I'm going to just say it ... it would be great if any of you guys could help out our community by posting some of your VB code to our Code Snippets forum. It's currently the only empty forum here and it would be great to get it started.

There's tons of things you can do. Pick any program you use and copy it. If you start from scratch, you'll learn a lot. Here are some projects I started off with:

Address Book
E-Mail Client
Project Manager
Chat Program
Games
Groupware (Think of any program a big company would use for record keeping.)

I would, except I don't like how it's layed out. Also, I assume it's only for C++? It'd be cool if you set up something like this: http://www.hotscripts.com

What's wrong with how it is laid out? (Constructive criticism here please) The C++, VB, and Java forums each have their own Code Snippets subforum. You can post a thread there with the [code] tag or with an attached file (i.e. a zip). In addition, the code snippets can be rated. What's so bad about that?

It's layed out like a forum. A lot of snippet/code web sites don't follow this format. Go to http://www.hotscripts.com. Click on a category, like "JavaScript." You get a list of titles for the scripts only, with no user comments underneath, just a brief description. You then click on the title of a script, then you get more information about the script. I think the user comments should go right there.

How come snippets are only limited to "Application Programming" and not "Web Languages"?
