ideas?

[5185noss]

Hey

I am a newbie to software development. But for an internship opportunity that I am exploring they have asked me to develop a program.

I have visual basic 2010 and want to develop an alarm clock application. I have a month to do it in.

Is this possible? Or do you have any better ideas for a program to make?


I would really really appreciate any help.


Thanks


Michael

It depends on what features will be put in this application.

I want to do an alarm clock that plays an mp3 file when the alarm is set. I want it to tell time and alarm feature.

To answer the questions in your post, yes it is possible... and no, I don't have a better idea for a program to write because we don't know anything about this internship you are exploring.

You didn't tell us anything about yourself, are you a programming student? What is your current skill level? Do you know how to start a new Windows project? If you do, how far on the design of an alarm clock application can you get on your own? Where do you have trouble?

You will need some sort of specific references to certain issues you are having, otherwise, I doubt anybody is really going to be of much help.

Hey, there.
Maybe you didn't notice, but this is a C# forum.

If you're developing with Visual Basic, you'll have better luck at the CodeGuru VB.NET Forums here.

You can repost there, or wait for a moderator to move the thread.

Such an application would be very easy to write in VB.Net.

You'll need a timer, code to display the time, code to check the current time <> alarm time and some code to play the file when the time comes all of which is very simple. Should take less than 30 minutes for an experienced programer unless you really get fancy with graphics or add additional features.
