Question Suggestions for a newbie project

[cossie]

Hi,

This is my first post and all that.

I've recently made the switch to .NET having worked with VB6, SQL, Oracle 9i and Win32 for about 2 years. Most of the work I did was developing tools and Windows versions of Unix apps for a company migrating from an ancient database to Oracle.

For various reasons I've been out of the "game" for over a year and half and I'm hoping to start looking for a .NET job very soon. With that in mind I was wondering if anyone could suggest a small application that I could try to develop that has some business relevance? The sort of thing that would look good on my CV / somethng to talk about in an interview?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Cos

Why not the age old classic of the video hire shop? You could use an SQL Compact database and Linq to SQL.

EDIT: Or a booking system for a doctor's surgery?
