FINAL ASSESSMENT
E-commerce checkout process:
Students will use C# to design a shopping cart that will club together all your selected products and provide you your billing details all together. They will use C# to parse the information on the shopping cart as an .xml file and provide the data to the server to generate the bill. These billing details are directly sent to the customer.
Film Digital Library:
Imagine curating your own films library and having the advantage to browse through the data on your stored films, whenever you wish to. This is one such C project which will enable the users to not only compile a list of the films they have downloaded or bought but also pair the necessary information about the movie along with the file. In many ways, users can have their own custom made IMDB library. Developers may opt for MySQL server for the backend coding using C# whereas Visual studio should be able to take care of the front end needs.
Online Voting Applications:
Valuable votes are often lost in the bid. Governments can be encouraged to adopt the voting system to an online space so that no matter where you are, you are able to cast your vote securely. C# could an ideal choice to script such C projects. It will include a secure registration gateway where the voter will be asked to provide the relevant documents of proof. On the backend, the officials may verify the details and approve of the registration via a link. On the day of the election, the user will be sent a unique code on their mobile phones or emails to log back into the application. The application will enable them to choose from the various candidates of their respective constituencies and cast their votes only after due authentication. With C# as the language and MySQL as the database, this project ideas in C is not only going to be novel but also rather hassle-free to design.
Digital Signatures:
One C project which can actually be used to prepare authentic digital signatures may be developed using C#. Once the operating system requirements are taken care of, developers may rely on a relevant version of Visual Basics to cover the frontend and Ms Access for the backend requirements and use C# to script software which will allow users to digitize their handwritten signatures with accuracy and verify the same. Thereafter, this digital signature can be imprinted on different e-documents. This will save paper and minimize the need for physical transactions.
Logistics:
The packaging and logistics industry is one such domain where C# can create innovative project ideas with C. Using the C# .NET platform, developers can design a sleek and efficient cargo and warehouse management system which will enable managers to keep abreast of the functioning of the freight and the employees ranging from sourcing to tracking, carriage to delivery, every minute aspect of the logistics chain can be maneuvered and organized virtually through time-saving and accurate management tools. C# makes such applications easy to develop and easy to operate.
Each team first creates a minimally viable product to fulfill mandatory technical elements, then iterates based on feedback, refining and adding additional features. At the end of the bootcamp, teams present their projects to the Management & External Observer.
