'Some sort of web application'
For the love of GOD can you not be a bit more helpful. Do you have a particular interest in any part of your course whatsoever? Or would you like us to write the project for you as well?!

Re: university final year project ideas
Web apps suck.
We did an SNMP-monitor thingy in PHP that monitored a nr of webservers by retrieving the SNMP data every x minutes.
The other project was a multi-player connect-4 game, which rocked because it involved OpenGL and looked wickidy wicked.
The AI was dumb though, but the task of other project members so I can't be blamed for that.

Re: university final year project ideas

imo it's bad to come up with your own idea if the uni supplies a list of suggested projects, even if those projects are a bit dull because when you write the report you have to start doing things like inventing problems that your solution solves and creating the specification yourself.
a common one that our uni had almost every year was write a programme to aid programming, e.g. support syntax highlighting, class/function highlighting etc
personally, i suggest you do this:
write an online multiplayer monopoly game, that can be themed, so it would be easy to skin it for 'buffy the vampire slayer monopoly', 'star wars monopoly, 'disney monopoly' etc
make it client/server, in java (done properly) so that you can have 'stand alone clients' or play it through a webbrowser, create a lobby system, keep the protocols clean and open so that other clients and servers can be written to support it, basically make the most openest online monopoly experience known to mankind
what problem does it solve? lots of people like playing little games online against their friends without having to have it dominate their desktop blah blah blah listen to me im a genius
|
*cough*lawsuit*cough*
while it might be a nice idea (hell, i'd play it), if someone at Hasbro or whoever owns monopoly gets wind of what you are doing, they'll no doubt drop the legal eagles on you like a ton of bricks. sorry, but you know what these MNCs are like with their copyrights and "intellectual properities" and what not

Wow
..if I ever saw a skillset that screemed 'don't hire me' this one is it!
So basically, you know one half-assed programming language which is so commonly hated that no-one learns it unless they're forced to, you think XML looks cool so you get to bloat the data being passed around needlessly, and to top of it, you a know a nice set of tricks to validate in-data from browsers! yay!

Re: university final year project ideas
I'm looking at writing a clone of either EnCase or Tripwire. I have a partially functional clone of Tripwire at the moment, that was written for an assignment. I'm currently unsure as to which to pursue. I need to talk to my lecturers.

That was exactly what I was being asked if I could do in an interview I had a couple of weeks ago.

Goes to show that recruiters can't hire worth damn
I know a few people who can pull their share who're good at asp, javascript.. but without fail, all of them have learned program structure from real general-purpose languages. I also know a few (two to be exact) people who don't know anything but asp and javascript, and while they get stuff done, their stuff is ugly as hell and unmaintable as a grizzly bear caught in a barrel of fish. Might just be my experience though.
Either way, listing up 'xml' is the big red flag for me. It most likely means you've used it, thought it was cool and are most assuredly going to misuse it at first opportunity. If it was a cv I might pass it over as buzzword-compliance, but actually saying/writing it on purpose...urg...
I'm kinda envious at people who're good at javascript though

Think that could be slightly beyond the expectations of an Undergrad project...

Re: university final year project ideas
Write a full featured CMS in ASP.Net.
I'm doing a module on Database Driven Websites come September, and the first semester is all about ASP, so hopefully the assignent will be broad enough that I can write some sort of weblog software in ASP.Net.
I'm not thinking about my project until after my exams are finished.

Re: university final year project ideas
ajax is asynchronous javascript & xml combined.. with loads of other stuff too
basically to take out the start and stop nature of the web
e.g google maps

Re: university final year project ideas
how about a neural network that runs over the internet. dunno what you could get it to do, but it would be excellent if thousands of people just let it chug away doing stuff and growing cleverer and cleverer.

Re: university final year project ideas
Try modifying the Java VM, or developing a new video/audio codec etc - maybe a system on a chip decoder. Highly profitable avenues of research.
Depends what sort of level your uni expects I guess. As long as you do something reasonabley interesting you should be motivated enough to do well on it....
