I'm in the process of learning some new programming languages and really need some type of project to sink my teeth into. There's no better way to truly grasp a language than to actually design and build your own application. I've been racking my brain to find something that would really get me fired up and drive my desire to learn these new languages. Being the high-tech ******* that I am I come up with the idea of designing some type of fishing related software. I know there are already commercial packages out there but really like the idea of designing my own to my exact needs & specifications.
I'm curious to know if there are enough folks here interested in something like this for me to justify the amount of time & effort it'll require to bring an idea like this to fruition. I have some very general ideas right now of what I would like to incorporate into the design. I would really like to hear from others with any ideas or thoughts regarding any aspect of said project -from logical work flow, to functionality, to key features it should have.
This isn't something that's going to happen over night because as previously stated there's going to be a learning curve for me and it'll certainly take a little while to get everything mapped out in the design phase.
In the end I envision having a nice free fishing software package being available exclusively to BOC members. I think this could prove to be a valuable tool for anyone really serious about the sport of catfishing (or any type of fishing for that matter) and improving their fishing prowess. I have no visions of grandeur or becoming the marine version of the next Bill Gates. :smile2:
These are just the broad strokes of some of my ideas. I know scores of people have contributed a wide array of things to this community that has made it what is is. I would like for this to be eventually be one of my contributions. I won't blather on with further detail until I can gauge the interest that may or may not exist within this community.
