53 Project Ideas From Beginner to Advanced

Intro

Finding project ideas and implementing them has always been a difficult process for beginners. Every day, I encounter hundreds of people asking what they can do with the highly praised and exaggerated programming languages on pages such as Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and technology blogs such as Devto and Medium. For this reason, I wanted to start a thread. A thread containing only project ideas. I am creating a review article solely to inspire people who want to learn a new language and test their capabilities. I will add new ideas to the comments below the article. In this way, I aim to prevent as much as possible the questions of what beginners can do with such and such a program.

Let me give you a few ideas at the beginning:

  1. Try to use mind mapping techniques whenever possible. Write the subject headings as keywords and place the right project under the right title using the tags in the notes you took.
  2. Porting - Integrate project ideas given in another language into your new language
  3. Old School - Rewrite your first projects while learning another language in their simplest form via commandline (without using AI)
  4. Code Sharing - Do not hesitate to share your codes for non-commercial purposes. Watch your mistakes being criticized mercilessly while sipping your coffee.
  5. A bird in hand is better than a bird in the bush. A project that works is better than crazy ideas that don't work. Do it until you make it.

P.S: The list consists of 53 ideas. Not 50. I wanted so. Full-stop :)

I wrote a Schema + Query parser in Rust called RayQL. It also has its own online editor powered by WASM. Please feel free to check it out and provide your valuable feedback on the project.

just an idea but if it happens it would be awesome start point for programmers. Create the project gallery website akin the movie website with the tags, project covers, project title, project pages and the project levels. And when you clicked the project page you will see different versions of a a project written with GO, Rust, Python, Elixir, Rust, Zig etc.

And the tags will be like #cli #web #backend #game #ai #database #frontend #nlp #computervision #datascience #mobile etc.

This also can be a good rocket fuel for your Github repo. When i finished my react and Astro tutorials i wanna build this project.

Thank you for your contributing comment.

Your idea can be a new open source task based project. Create a repo at Github and put some magic in it.
FAANGS Clouds are an undisputed advantage, but still users decides whether to use it or not. You can build your own calendar with a open source community.

I plan to share the github repos of implemented ideas in the coming days. You can also find such projects with short searches on github.

I'm using voice recorder to keep ideas. And I am writing directly to a text file from my voice records. So when i started to write it can be duplicated values.
