Talk:A-level Computing 2009/AQA/The Computing Practical Project/Picking a project

Hi, what grades are the examples of projects listed on the main page? especially A stock control database for a hardware shop that handles re-orders and sales and a maths game? Thanks
 * both can get A-grades but the maths revision games are easier to get to a high level of complexity. Always check with your teacher. Pluke (discuss • contribs) 23:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply my teacher said the stock control maybe hard to get A on but maths game possibly. But i would like a second opinon, what would you suggest i do? Also which would be easier for me to do? I will be doing it on VB.NET, so please help me out.
 * Take a look at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Computing/AQA/VB#COMP4
 * Thanks for that will continue reading that while doing the project. What should i do the stock control or a maths game?
 * Hi, Try not to delete the conversation when you reply. It's up to you.  I would have a conversation with your teacher as they will be supporting you. Pluke (discuss • contribs) 08:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

He said he's not sure about the stock management one, however the maths game is ok but what will i do? I am not sure myself. If i do a stock control what can i include in the project? can you give me some ideas? also if i do maths game what can i include? Please give me ideas on what i can do for both! thanks

I want to do something like the stock control for hardware what is the best language to do it in? Thanks
 * Interesting question. You should think what platform do you want to run it on:
 * Web based - PHP and MySQL, VB.NET ASP
 * Desktop based - VB.NET Access / MSSQL
 * Phone based - Android (Java) / iPhone (Objective C)
 * If you have studied a language before try and stick with that and get yourself a book to learn the basics (teach yourself XYZ in 24 hours). Pluke (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Ideally desktop based, but what would be easier desktop or web based? I have studied VB.NET but if another language is easier for my project i can learn that! What would you reccommend? Thanks
 * Desktop based would probably be easier. Get yourself a teach yourself Visual Basic .Net in 24 hours book.  and read that firstPluke (discuss • contribs) 16:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, i've come across many books with the same title, can you give me a link on which one is the best for vb.net!

Thanks
 * It depends on the version of VB.NET you are using. I'd recommend the latest: SAMS Teach Yourself Visual Basic .NET 2010 in 24 hours: complete starter kit Pluke (discuss • contribs) 11:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
