One of the first things I did not as a student was to reverse engineer a tsr
to make harddisks readonly and password protected in dos so students couldn't f#ck up the harddisks

I really enjoyed seeing students formatting the harddisk like normal and
reporting 100% finished only to see that nothing happened lol

My first project was making a website with a basic login system and members area... Since i had only been coding in PHP for about a week it ended up being suseptible to SQL injection, i think it still is, oh well. Live and learn.

First project? An "Adventure" text-adventure 'clone' on a Timex/Sinclair 1000 with the 16k memory expansion pack. It had about 16-20 rooms.

Hi,

my first project was the famous "hello world"

Serious, i think it was a program to estimate the time a brute-force pw cracker would need depending on the algorithm used, length and quality of the pw. That was fun.

My first relatively complex program was called "Orbits" built in Basic, it is similar to some of the wire frame screensavers that are out there, except it was cooler.

First project was a clock in C, where the user inputs the time and date, and you see the time and date ascending from there. If you're looking for something to program Fred, that's not too overwhelming, a clock is ideal.

Don't they teach you how to avoid SQL injections when you're learning PHP?

yea you should try a 4 function calculator or a " Left, Center, Right" program if you really wanna go easy.

By left center right i mean have a label and 3 cammand buttons. Whe you click the "Left" Button the text in the label should be left justtified and the text should read "left justified". Apply this concept to the center and right keys.

look heres the code for the "left" button. I just did this in about a minute.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
lblText.Caption = "Left Justified"
lblText.Alignment = LeftJustify
End Sub
