Thanks for thsi

[@depayanmondal]

I never got these type of practical advices from my college and without you and many other tech youtubers I wouldn't have known any of these. Thanks for being such a great teacher.

[@CoderFoundry]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching.

[@ironhorse989]

In the same vein as an inventory control system, I'm planning on building a CRM project (Similar with Sales Force or SAP) with frontend and backend with features to chat with customers, track sales and purchases, etc.

[@CoderFoundry]

That sounds great.Look at some of the smaller vendors for features like a capsule.

[@silentlessons4221]

just listening to this man makes me love programming.

[@CoderFoundry]

Thanks. We hope it helps!

[@otmanm4095]

Thanks, real ideas, not "bullshit-copy-paste-ideas" like a lot of videos out there !

[@HashimWarren]

Wait, no to-do app, or tic-tac-toe 🤣? These are awesome project ideas

[@CoderFoundry]

These ideas are not hello world :)

[@afonsosalbrecht]

@@CoderFoundry These ideas are more like Bye world! :) (you will spend more time in your room coding than actually outside in the world)

[@dims95]

Thank you Coder Foundry, I've gotten some real good ideas, as well as much needed advice on your channel

[@CoderFoundry]

Your welcome! Glad we could help.

[@wme-edu]

Great content. Is there a portfolio site we can look at which demos these ideas? I don't need to see the source code but seeing a working demo would help me get started on building my own version.

[@MrChris20912]

Thank you for these great starting points! I'd watched the bug tracker video already and happy to have these other ideas to work with as well!

[@juniordevmedia]

In the "1 project job guarantee" video, you said we should use .Net ASP plateform where as i am experienced in Node/Express + SQL/MongoDB. Is that going to be a problem while seeking jobs in enterprise companies? or switching to .Net is THAT worth it? Great content btw 👍

[@CoderFoundry]

Zulfiqar, if you're already experienced in Node try and roll with that. You just need to research what companies in your area are hiring for. If that’s Node then you’re good to go, but it could be something else (.NET, Java,....).

[@HashimWarren]

It depends on your city. If you're in San Francisco, New York, or London then any language or stack will get you a job quickly. However, .NET is popular with the enterprise everywhere, from Tel Aviv to Toledo

[@carlitosmo]

it is a kind of infinity gems to get a job. cool video

[@Xtremedave2]

Hello Bobby (hope you see this), I'm planning to make my first ever project for my portfolio. I know that you recommend making a bug tracker, however I'm having difficulty with this because I've never really used one, so I don't have much knowledge of one in order to make my own, and I don't really know where to look in order to find what it should include (if you have good sources please show me). However, every developer uses stackoverflow, so I am considering making my own stackoverflow clone. Is this as good as a bug tracker? As you say, employers need to see projects that can have a reference point to something they use, and stackoverflow is something that developers use, so it could be compared to that.

[@RickyC0626]

That's also similar to an idea I had: creating a personalized stackoverflow where you ask yourself questions and find your own answers. This way your personal Q&A will be the first line of defense if you ever have a question, before searching on Google. It extends on the concept of building a second brain and personal knowledge management systems. Some tools that are already in use for this kind of system are Obsidian, Roam, Notion, Foam, but many users suffer from choice paralysis, as these tools are extremely flexible and users may not know how to create a note-taking system that works for them. I think it's a completely valid project as it solves a specific problem (asking questions and doing research) that complements well with issue trackers. It can even be extended for use in other subjects!

Great channel. Wish this advice was around when I started

[@CoderFoundry]

Thanks Jeremy - we appreciate the kind words.

[@wilfredoperez1804]

Thanks for the project ideas. Now, I need to learn c#.

[@CoderFoundry]

Thanks for watching.

5:00 - the link did not go to a video about a financial app.

[@anshitasharma7301]

I am so happy that I've found your channel. 🤓

[@coreyorndoff9417]

Hello CF. Love your videos. I made a bug tracker with all the features you talked about but I made it in WinForms since I just started teaching myself C# and that's what I started with. Do you think this will be good enough on a resume?

[@CoderFoundry]

If you are looking for winforms jobs that's great. Make a screen shots and show it on your portfolio. Then apply for webform jobs.

[@coreyorndoff9417]

@@CoderFoundry Thank you for the reply and for the great videos. Looking forward to making the new projects from this video.

Thanks! You are awesome!

[@passportbro904]

Hope you reply, roughly how long do you think I'll take to make these 5 projects putting in at least 10 hrs a week? As a beginner, Thanks in advance

[@CoderFoundry]

Months. I think you need to plan to develop your skills over several months.

[@clockwerkz]

Digging these project ideas!

[@CoderFoundry]

Thanks!

[@primetime3306]

How do you learn to implement authorization and roles like you mentioned for the blog?

[@CoderFoundry]

Thats a big topic but.. asp.net you have these features built in.

[@bassguitarist2686]

Hi CF, As your building your projects do you have the demo section in mind to implement when its completed? or are you creating the demo roles at the same time of building?

[@CoderFoundry]

Demo roles are part of the initial design.

[@Programm4r]

Looking for a team project: Any programmers out there who wanna add a mobile app/game on their portfolio? Build the necessary skills needed for any software job such as communication; agile, kanban, and project management skills. Truthfully, a programmer who can't work in a team based/agile environment is useless to employers, so if you're interested, you'd learn a lot working with me! :o

Hey, I'm interested! Would love to follow up for more info.

You can but there are other apps more appropriate for mobile. I will attach a link to our video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXMnaGlZdqfoM0

[@costelinha1867]

But.... but... you forgot the most important project of them all... An actual portfolio for you to put those projects on.

[@CoderFoundry]

It is assumed you need a portfolio but we do see that as a project you use in the interview. But yes you need a portfolio web site and it's important.

[@costelinha1867]

@@CoderFoundry Yes, although I meant it more as a joke then anything.

[@uonliaquat7957]

You only need one project, just build a compiler + debugger. You are guaranteed to land a job in a big tech.

[@CoderFoundry]

I guess?? But the world is larger than big tech. Plus, companies are building biz apps. So we reccomend building biz apps.

[@uonliaquat7957]

Coder Foundry but don’t you think building projects using framework won’t make you sustain in a big market for too long, we actually have to pull out ourselves from this, I think we must build something from scratch and learn actual computer scinece and that what makes you a true computer scientist, Well I also appreciate your video and your thought process.

[@pkrockin3923]

@@uonliaquat7957 Im trying to build a complete fullstack web application from scratch (no frameworks/libraries, just standard libs + interfaces) for portfolio purposes. Which do you think would impress employers more, a project built from scratch or a project built with a framework?

[@uonliaquat7957]

PK Rockin well a project built from scratch will open gates for you in a world of true enginers and designers of softwares and beside that it’ll make you feel more comfortable when using framework for another project in future, building something using framework without knowing whats happening behind the scenes can somehow help you crack job interview but when you are in industry you will be lost then, like as probably you would be well aware of this that we don’t have a lot of people who can surely say that they can write a driver for OS or can build a full fledged compiler no not at all, don’t you think we should be more focused on the studies made by Alan Turing, Donald Knuth like people? sorry to say brother using a frameworks feels like we are slave to computer not a master of it, having said that once you are comfortable with the in and outs then you must go and use framework thats what my thoughts are.

[@connorskudlarek8598]

@@uonliaquat7957 frameworks are fine, they're not going anywhere. After you get into the position, it's a good idea to learn more CS. Learning CS beforehand is ok too, but it'll take much, much longer before one can enter the tech world. There is a reason CS degrees take 2 years after your basic education requirements are filled. It's harder, there is a lot more to learn, and much more complicated to learn by yourself.
