Re:Ask HN: Need an Idea for a simple Java project by mike-selmo on Tuesday July 10, 2018 @10:42AM (#17498495)
So for your first project I would do something simple in concept so you don't get wrapped up in feature creep.

Think about what you have learned so far and how you could demonstrate those topics. I don't think it needs to be a fresh new idea.

3 days is pretty short, without knowing what topics you have covered I would pick 3 and think of a way to combine them.

Say you learned a bit of UI, a bit of sorting, and a bit of OOP. Maybe create a todo list app that sorts tasks by priority.

Thanks, Your idea sounds very good. I think that we can use everything learned so far (OOP, arrays, lists, exception handling, etc.)!
