.NET C#/VB.NET Project in the Pipeline for Programmers who may be interested

sure. Are you a programmer??

If you would like to help, please feel free to let me know. Right now the project is in Analysis and Design and that is taking up the bulk of time as it entails typing up requirement for each of the proposed modules and creating design plans for each. We hope to start actual development work soon but no work until at least one BRD is actually approved and ready to go.

Hi team,

We really need more people involved in the research phase please. I understand that have an idea of what exactly it entails but for those who are trying to get ahead this is a great idea to actually get experience for your resume. Please email me if you are able as we need people who can take some time to go out in the field to gathe information from actors and participants in the  area in which you live.

Basically, the more hands we have onboard at this state, the faster it will be for us all to conclude on this and move on to the next stage.

Hi everyone,

Been a 'passive' but very engaged member of nairaland for a while, but this noble cause has spurred me to sign up. I'm interested in being part of the team & I have about 2 years programming experience with a useful networking background. Done a little on Portal Administration for schools so I guess I should be part of this team.

Please feel free to include me. I can be reached via codeweavernaija@gmail.com

i really appreciate your urgency Kobojunkie, but if your need is a highly robust and scalable relational database system, then try Microsoft Office Access 2007. sorry to be naive now, but i really think that you should consider it (Access) as a solution to your problem.
i have considerable hands-on experience with Access (8 years) and i must say that i experienced a great deal of productivity increase in the migration of my former developed databases from the 2000-2003 File format to the 2007 file fromat. The search bar (an ActiveX data object is an added boost). i really believe that for mid-size recordsets (not exceeding 100,000 records per table), that you should use Access.
i just developed a database system using access 2007 for a specialist hospital and i must say that it is functional, stable and efficient. i think that your main concern should be your table design and primary keys development and setting. do give it a try,
for applicatios of your specification, i believe that the tables would use three primary key orientations. one for the student registration number(for the Registrar's Network/Security/Dean of Students Affairs), another for the Surname (for the Faculties/Senate Networks), and a dual primary key table with the Student Registration Number as the primary key (Records and Statistics Unit).
do try Access 2007.

Oh gosh!! that is what i needed to read. You are absolutely right on that one. over 60% of Software projects fail due to lack of enough research and Analysis done. And I really appreciate it that you are willing to join the research and analysis team. Right now, as we do not have enough hands on deck in that area, it has been really slow as gathering information on Nigerian schools from outside of Nigeria is really slow process. I will try to email you information on what I have been working on and what we still have to get done as soon as I can please,   Thanks @Codeweaver

hmmm,  nice initiative,  im interested,  ma area is .NET(vb {asp.net}and C#),  i thot i read someone considering access for a relational database,  i dont think access is a good idea,  for a project like this,  no,

reasons,
did u eva check out the specification of access???
 - only 2GB of space
 - only 250 max connections
 - and besides u are gonna be deploying in a large communtiy
 - i dont think its a good idea

for me i dont think access is to be considered, 
why dont u guys consider something like "SQL server 2005" and ORACLE,  i think i like thier concepts,  i dont knw if anyone understands what im talking about,

ma email is a4extra@gmail.com(preferably for email)
                 - a4extra@yahoo.com(chat purposes)

hope to join your team,  u got a project management website??? lemme knw??

I am a C#.Net programmer that works with Visual Studio/Visual Studio.Net very well.
I thought i should be part of the team to make the project a reality because i've developed a software pertaining school management system, so i thought it would be a very good idea for me to join.
my email address is blackcoolvincent@yahoo.co.uk

I will love to join but let see what experience developer will say

on th python stuff

Dude how is this project going. I know i expressed some reservations about doing this kind of stuff with people based in nigeria

@kobo

what is this u have going on here - looks exicting.

This is why Nigeria is underdeveloped, the work ethic is too low! The best software in the world was created for FREE! They must realize that Open source software, although its developed for free is rewarding skill wise and most importantly to them FINANCIALLY!.  Its just that initially you will not get paid.  Anybody up for creating a site to promote Open source software in Nigeria?

Sorry for getting back to you late. Yes, working on a tool for public schools in Nigeria. Are you looking for something, that relates to Nigeria, to work on?

Wow that's great idea Sir. I would like to join the group but i don't have any real time experience. can you please guide me i want to be perfect in C# and Asp.Net please,  thank you very much
