Hi all,
I'm pretty much a noob programmer, but I think that I've learned all the very basics pretty well. Now I feel like in order to advance my skills I need to work on some project. My problem is, I don't have any good ideas of my own so I'd like to find a good open source project to work on. Can any of you guys/gals suggest an open source project that I could join that wouldn't be too complicated for me to help out with?
Thanks,
Jeramy

Maybe try creating an account on github and checking out the Open Source projects there? you could contribute or fork a project and work on it, or get some ideas from there

I've taken college courses with C, C++, and some C#.

or here: Ohloh.net[^]- Ohloh is a free, public directory of Free and Open Source Software and the contributors who create and maintain it. They've indexed over a half million projects (and scored them in a variety of ways).

If a you have open source you best have the Doctor look at them, he can give you an ointment to put on them...
Seriously though, there a number of really good articles here at CodeProject that provide source code along with good documentation . Click on the Articles tab above and peruse the nicely categorized articles, I'm sure you'll find many projects of interest. Best of all most of the authors a very willing to provide assistance as long as you show an earnest attempt to implementing and understanding of their work. There are some very good writers here.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Though, this is probably an obvious statement....I'd recommend doing something that interests you, as it might give you some direction/help when looking for a professional career. From a resume perspective, if you're applying for a new job with some experience in related topics, it might help you land a new job and give you some idea if you'd even like that kind of work.

Andrew has a point here. Take a look at your interests and see how you can apply your programming knowledge to that. Think about movies, sports, social, science, government, weather, etc.
There's a ton of APIs out there that you could use to keep track of anything or to visualize. Do you use facebook or twitter? Write some code to parse your friends or followers or something and build graphs based on content. Also, you could check out http://www.mashery.com/[^]
Start small so that you get something functional as quickly as possible. This way you can gain confidence and build momentum by adding more features and so forth. Try to find something that interests you personally, and that you would want to use, and get excited about.
Be sure to use some type of version control system as soon as you start. Create a simple RTF document to list some basic features and build tasks from that. If you can't get to something make another list for "Future Tasks".

Rebranding is the process by which a product or service
developed with one brand or company or product line affiliation
is marketed or distributed with a different identity. This
involves radical changes to the brand's logo, brand name, image,
marketing strategy, and advertising themes. It usually results
in the repositioning of the brand / company. It may just involve
merely superficial changes. Rebranding can be applied to either
new products, mature products, or even unfinished products.
