Hey guys,
I'm just really really bored and I want to program I haven't for over two months and I'm trying to get a Web Dev job so I can't be rusty. Problem is, I have NO clue what to program. Can ANYONE GIVE ME AN IDEA?!? PLEASE!

What do you enjoy when your not coding? Hobbies or something like that? - Thats always a good thing to think about before you make anything, if your a fan of some sort of team you could make a site for them with features like RSS, CMS, user system where they can contribute or comment etc... With something like that you can go very indepth.

Another thing i often do is look at freelance sites. Look what people want scripting, it maybe a clone of a site or some sort of other script that does something useful, i often find that there are some good ideas there that i too have an interest coding just for fun.

Hope that helps.

Re-program Wordpress so it's template engine is an actual template layer & not a mixture of template and voodoo code.
/rant


An online file browser seems to be a fairly popular project for people just starting out or getting back into things.

Well, for a hobby I program, use linux, work on cars, and "security audit". For work, I do the same things, whether sidejob or full-time..... I'm passionate about what I do.


As for being new to PHP... I'm most assuredly not.... I just need an idea. It's only been 2 mouths... but I can't get rusty while looking for a job.

You can code a game which is your favorite. If you can not able to do this then you can make online blog for your marketing. By putting up blog on website, you will get many more ideas.
People will also reply on your own website also.
