Why Build Projects?

Database is a BASH shell based tool that is providing various operations to handle a particular database. Initially the data-base need to be pre-populated with some data for which the user will be provided with a set of commands (ex: add / modify / delete / search) using which he should be able to modify them. Along with this user functionality, this tool should record all the actions performed along with time-stamps for future references.

Since the idea of this tool is to exposure SHELL programming, CSV file is used as a data-base storing entity.

Text Indexer is an application that helps to locate a particular text faster in a given set of large data by keeping track of words and their locations in files. This console based application uses standard I/O for searching the words in the files.

The purpose of storing an index is to optimize speed and performance in finding relevant documents for a search query. Without an index, the search engine would scan every document in the corpus, which would require considerable time and computing power. The goal of the project is to achieve optimal searching by using Hashing.

The art and science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless messages. Bits of unused data are replaced by bits of valuable information using LSB mechanism. Sender and receiver will have individual key / secret based on which they will be able to extract the actual data from the image.

This project also gives a basic level understanding of image processing methodologies.

Tic-Tac-Toe is a very popular game implemented using Python.

The game is automatically played by the program and hence, no user input is needed. Still, developing an automatic game will be enable you to learn Python. Instead of asking the user to put a mark on the board, code randomly chooses a place on the board and put the mark. It will display the board after each turn unless a player wins.

Blackjack is a popular card game. It will start with implementing the basic logic of Blackjack and build on a more full-featured version. In phase one, you will use buttons to control the game and print the state of the game to the console using print statements.

In the second phase, you will replace the print statements by drawing images and text on the canvas and add some extra game logic.

Address Book is an application written in C language. It keeps track of names and telephone/mobile numbers and e-mail addresses. It is a console based application which uses standard I/O for adding and deleting contact names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, searching names and associated numbers and email addresses, updating numbers and email addresses, and deleting contacts.
