Favorite Starter Kit Ideas

  • Article

I've heard a lot of feedback that we should put together some starter kits in VB that people can use to get going with VB.  I love the idea and want to start creating them and start seeding the community to create them. 

However, every time that I've asked people what starter kits they want, I get different answers.  Time tracking apps and workflow applications are among the top requests, but what else do you want to see?

    Cool - I just posted a "what I want in a VB.Net app example" - a small business accounting app.
    I'm writing one myself but any help would be appreciated ;-)

    Hey I'm glad to hear that someone else thinks about this. I think a blogging application would be perfect. I can't think of any area of web development this wouldn't cover, and you could even do a rich application and a PocketPC application that could connect to it. I'd love to help out on something like this, it might get me back into VB programming (been focusing on C# for a long time).

    I'm sitting in a Tech Ed BOF entitled, "RSS Without Blogs". How about a simple Windows client that can read RSS feeds (not necessarily blogs). I also like the earlier suggestion that someone do an aggregator for the Pocket PC.

    How about a win client issue tracking/reporting application?

    Just some quick ideas ... (1) How about a 'seminar booking' application, that allows users to specify (register) the sessions they want to attend? (2) How about a 'flight booking' application? Possibly both with a web front end (ASP.NET), but the development of rich Win clients (back end?) would also be very nice.
