1. Games (e.g. Chess / Noughts and crosses/ 3-dimensional noughts and crosses :-) )
2. Cricket scorecard(You enter the score for each ball and who is bowling it etc..). The program stores all the details

The programs I have suggested are not necessarily the software you would see on your pc or on the internet but they are just as valid. The ones I have suggested are typical programs you might see in a computer programming course as an assessment or a program to develop and expand later on. They are only suggestions, if you have an interest in these areas then it may be the only program you write for a while. Anyway as far as this thread is concerned, the more the merrier.
Another suggestion is:
5. A text editor
Have fun!

1. An FAQ that actually Talks!!
2. An 'Infinite' desktop.
Both the ideas have been implemented @ my site, but they are not complete yet...

Both those programs were approached, as you stated,
"Just get in there and write some code, especially early on"
though i did do some planning before starting them (and i am still planning it.)
I am a bit biased towards web based application, as i feel that they reach more masses than your traditional desktop based application.
A great idea that I had though in my college days:
An application that creates database on the fly and provides a configurable GUI to control that database.
This would be a huge application that will be able to create Any Co-application.
eg: A jeweler could use jewelery based template, a College can use a college based template, etc.
Any one should be a able to create new screens/ modify a template to suit his needs, map the fields to database tables and get it running immediately !!

I like the one about the database-I had that idea too and wrote a progrm which allowed to you write SQL-type queries(to create tables and insert/delete data etc) when you use the program. It was written in C++ way back. The program used a command-line interface :-(

Nope thats probably made in javascript with a code to constantly query the server for next advertisement.
Rog Rammer wrote:How about creating some "user controls" do run on a web application. I note that there might be one on this site. If you look underneath this thread i note there is an advert which links to sites such as Courses. That looks like a user control written in say C# which keeps changing the links.
